Re: [datacolor_group] I too have green screen after cal.

Spyder3 functions have not been "disabled" in Spyder3Pro, it just has  
a simpler feature set than Elite. You need to go to the Datacolor  
website, and send in a support ticket, and they will take care of this  
for you directly, instead of via a reseller.

If you then choose to upgrade from S3Pro to S3Elite, you can do that  
as a website software upgrade, but definately put in a support ticket  
first, as it should be possible to solve your issue without upgrading.
