Spyder3Utility earlier than the most current (1.1.10) isn't compatible with
Lion. You most likely have an earlier version installed; it's going to crash on launch,
every time you start up.

To get the updated version: either browse to the downloads section on our web site, and find
the link for Spyder3Utility 1.1.10, or you can use this URL to get to that download page directly:

http://support.datacolor.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=183&nav=0,12

Download the new version; it will show up as a single application file in your Downloads folder in
Safari (or whatever web browser you're using).

Copy the new application into your Applications\Datacolor\Spyder3Pro folder, and replace your older
version of Spyder3Utility with this one. Then double-click to launch the new version; after a few
seconds, it's icon should appear in your menu bar.

Your system should still be set to automatically launch Spyder3Utility for ambient light monitoring
when you restart, but you can check, to make sure, by going into System Preferences: Users and
Groups; and for your user account, go to the Login Items section and make sure that Spyder3Utility
appears in the list. (If not, you can add it manually)
