The profile created by the Eizo Color Navigator software is being loaded during the boot sequence.  I can visually see the effect when it loads.  I checked the monitor properties (right click desktop, properties, advanced, color management) and the one I built (and named for 100cd/m2) is the assigned profile.  

Mac does a much better job then Windows when it comes to color management.  I run a Win XP machine so have to live with it.  I may look at ColorEyes, again.  I tried it in demo mode before removing all of the Eizo/Datacolor software and it basically hammered my color settings - I ended up with both monitors really messed up. It took me considerable time to get all of the software off and then reinstalled plus reprofiling to get it back to something usable. I am not sure what went wrong as the demo installed with no problems but something was not right.  I wiil probably try it once more now that I have reconfigured the system but they may not let me since I installed the demo once.  Besides, I would like to concentrate on using my system for a bit not debugging it.

I do appreciate all of the comments and suggestions that you and others have made.
