David,

If you re-read my message that was the first thing I did was use the menu option to find out there was a new option.  I did install 3.1.1 over 3.0.4.  I never calibrated with 3.0.4 but I did install it from the original CDs.

I did also post on dbpreview with the same question.  I'm just frustrated that I can't get this going.  I have the time on the weekend and not so much during the week.  Also I just found out today that a new version is being released and I have had mine a whole day :) With all the reading I do I'm surprised I did see news about this before.

Thank so much for taking the time in trying to help out. I give ya a big thumbs up for answering any question on the weekend !!

Now any other ideas I can try ??
