Win XP Pro with all service packs and updates.

This may be a re-post. I tried sending this message to the group 
severalminutes ago but it obviously didn't make it onto the board.

Two days ago I printed out targets for two papers and let them dry 
overnight, then make a profile for one of the targets today. That 
went fine - just needed to increase Brightness by +2 to get an 
essentially "perfect" profile.

But when I try to read patches of the second printout, I find that 
(1)the "save measurements to" choice is grayed out, (2) the only 
available choice is "select an existing measurement file", which 
shows the file created for my first profile, and (3)I can't access 
the "calibrate" function from the Tools dropdown.

I've tried shutting down PFP and opening it up again. I've tried re-
booting the computer. Neither helps. I don't see a solution in the 
Help files. From reading this e-list, I have the impression that 
uninstalling version 1.1.1 won't help either.

Is there a simple solution? Am I missing something dead obvious 
here? Any suggestions appreciated. I'm dead in the water as far as 
creating profiles is concerned.

I had the same problem. Did everything you did then
about 4 hours later it finally (no known reason) would
calibrate the Spectrocolor meter and read my prints.

Has it been 4 hours? Good luck!  Dave
