Spyder 3 / Windows 7 Laptop / Color Casts

2010-10-08 by actsmbs

I have used the Spyder 3 Elite on two other dual monitor systems for employers on Windows XP with no issues.

So I purchased one for home office use on my Dell Studio 1747 Laptop running Windows 7 64bit.

Built in monitor: Liquid Crystal Display, 17.3, Full High Definition, White Light Emitted Diode, True Life, 90%, Au Optronics Corp

Second monitor is: Dell 19inch flat panel model E1910c

Video card is a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 560v

No matter how many times I calibrate, recalibrate, uninstall, reinstall the software my laptop screen has a very noticeable red cast and the second monitor has a green cast. I can save individual profiles for each monitor. I have the room dark, Spyder laying on the tilted screen, etc. 

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Color Management settings for Windows 7. I'm clueless if I need to change options like "Viewing conditions profile" and all the "ICC Rendering Intent to WCS Gamut Mapping" options.

Would someone please help me make this Spyder work on a Windows 7 laptop and flat screen second monitor? I can't find anything on Google about my setup.

Thanks!!!
