>>I created a Profile for a Epson P50. 
I want to use this Profile in every Application, like Word, Main Picture Program, etc. 
But i only get the real Profile if I use the Spyder3Print Software. (I think PS with a Profile choose could make it too).
If I Print a pic from Windows Picture Wizard, it looks like Garbage.

An ICC profile transform is like a bridge, that must sit on foundations at both ends. If it has only one end, it's not a bridge, it's a pier, and doesn't go anywhere. In order to go somewhere you need more than just the second foundation, the printer profile that you go to, across the bridge; you also need the source profile for the file that will be converted. The problem with trying to used color managed printing with non-color managed applications, is that they offer no source, as they have no idea abbot color spaces. So even if you can find a way to specify the output profile, there is no source profile, and at best a default guess for the source, such as sRGB, is used.
