Spyder2express startup problem

Spyder2express startup problem

2006-06-09 by leftspin2k

I just got this product, and after using it, and rebooting, I get a 
screen called "Default Monitor". This dialog has a picture of the 
Spyder2express hardware. Then there is a child window 
called "Colorvision startup". It shows the following text:

"Sorry, no calibration data was found in the profile "sRGB Color Space 
Profile" for monitor "Default Monitor". Please select a different 
profile using 'ProfileChooser'. (1168)

I searched this group, but I could not find an article matching this 
error. Please advise me on how to solve this problem.

I noticed that the color is not adjusted after reboot. I assume this is 
the reason.

The default Windows monitor profile is sRGB. sRGB does not have any correction curves attached to it, which is causing the warning. Windows is being called to set your custom profile as the default monitor profile, but its not doing so, and is not returning an error message to the Spyder software (known Windows bug). What you need to do, is that the message tells you: use the Profile Chooser utility to choose your custom profile yourself, since Windows didn't do so when requested.

This group is not a comprehensive resource on ColorVision issues, and much of what's here is not filed under subject lines that are comprehensive. The CV website's FAQs are a better resource, but tech support is the ultimate answer.

Your color does not change because the sRGB profile has no video corrections. If choosing your custom profile with Profile Chooser "sticks" (meaning your custom profile remains selected) then you should see that "flash" after reboot that shows the video curves are being adjusted.

If after using the Profile Chooser and rebooting you still have the same problem.
Open display properties and click settings and click advanced
new window opens up and click color management, if you don't see your profile click on add and find it apply and reboot all should be good.

I have done this with Nvidia but assume would work with Ati as well.

However, I recently purchased Spyder2Express and there's no 
ProfileChooser utility coming with the software. As far as I know, it 
comes only with the Pro version. I'm using (I should say, I'm trying to 
use) version 2.3.
