I just reinstalled my OS and am having problems calibrating Moniter .  
I have used used Spyder for years, and this calibration is quite off, 
very cold and blue.  I am running  Windows XP Home and have a Samsung 
LCD moniter and use PS CS2.  I have not changed any settings on my 
moniter since the reinstall of the OS, the Brightness is 50 and 
Contrast 100 and I have no other adjustments available..  Again, this 
is how it has always been.  I am using the same SpyderPro2.2-4 
settings: Gamma 2.2 & White Point 5800.  The moniter image is very blue 
and cold.  I have done this a couple of times and it keeps looking the 
same.  It is blue visually, I noticed it right away.  And when I look 
at the PDI test image on the moniter compared to a print, the lower 
part of the color bar on the right is not white, but pretty blue.  Any 
ideas what I might be doing wrong?  Thanks.

One possibility is that an energy saver or screensaver is coming on 
during the profiling process, and invalidating the readings. Be sure 
that all such functions are set to "never" before calibrating, and see 
if that makes a difference.

Than I'll have to ask you to send me a copy of your monitor profile, 
off list, to the email address below.

I'm not sure how to get it to you.  I can't attach to this reply.  I 
sent a reply in the Colorvision support site with attachments and 
alsoan email to CDTobie@....  Hopefully one of these will 
reach you.  Thanks.

Have you received my Moniter Profiles?  I've sent them to you a couple 
of different ways.  If not, please tell me once again how to get them 
to you.  My moniter is still way off.  Thanks.  My email is 
MKraus1044@aolcom and that might be the easiest way to communicate with 
me.  Thanks
