My concern is were this profile is stored. Upon completion the Spyder3Print screen came back to report that my new profile would be in C:\windows\SYSTEM32\spool\...... If I'm running 64 bit and the lastest driver is for 32\64 bit, shouldn't the profile be stored in something that doesn't indicate 32 bit? Or is it in the right place that PSCS5 & LR3 will find it?


You can check this easily enough. Reprofile your main (or only) monitor, name it something like "My64BitTest" and check afterwards to see if Photoshop is using the profile by that name. Photoshop > Edit > Color Settings > Workingspaces > RGB > See if the one listed for MonitorRGB is the new profile with the funny name. Be sure not to set your Photoshop RGB space to your display profile, just use that list to check what the monitor profile is listed as. Our testing has shown no problems under XP64, Vista64, or Win7-64... well, no problems related to profile location; Vista created a whole range of other issues...
