Re: Win 7 new user profile no LUT loaded issue

2012-11-08 by tlbepson

Just thought I'd report a test I tried once I knew that the problem with the LUT not loading in my new Win7 user profile to which I copied my primary user profile data was not the result of an error on my part.

In AppData\Local\Datacolor\ in my primary user profile which I was logged into when I calibrated my monitor, there is a "Spyder3Elite" subfolder which contains the following:
Folders: DisplayHistory, DisplayInformation and MQA
Files: cie_vect.jpg, Licenses and Preferences

I copied those folders and files to the (appdata\local\datacolor\) Spyder3Elite subfolder in my new user profile--I was not logged into this profile when I did the copy. The Spyder3Elite subfolder in this new user profile had been empty.

I rebooted logging in to my new user profile and BINGO! the LUT loaded as it does for my primary user profile.

Both of these profiles are admin level users. I don't know if this would work for standard users--don't see why not but I don't have any standard users defined on my system.

The full address of the place to look and/or copy is:

c:\windows\users\MYCALIBRATIONUSERID\appdata\local\datacolor\spyder3elite

where "MYCALIBRATIONUSERID" is the userid one was logged into when the calibration was done and the monitor profile created.

Hope the above might help other Win7 users...
