I dont know where to start.

I have a syder 3 elite software version 3.0.7

two NEC 2070NX monitors

Nvidia 8800GS graphics card

and have installed the MS Color settings applett

Whats the best settings to use in the spyder software

How can I make sure that my monitor 1 (main) boots up with the 
assigned profile.

How can I make sure that my monitor 2 boots up with the assigned 
profile.

Is there a way of turning them on and off

Thanks for any help

If your videocard is up to the task, and Windows doesn't throw any  
fits, then simply profiling both displays (Ideally using the  
StudioMatch Wizard from the menu options) will correct them both to  
the same standard, and they'll both be fine. Its only if your card is  
not up to it, or your OS has problems executing the requested  
commands, that issues arise. So start by assuming the best, not the  
worst, and give it a spin.

Every thing was going fine every thing well within tolerance then I 
got this error. 

Sorry,there was a problem calculating the crrection curve for the 
display

The profile being attached is seldom a problem; if it gets assigned  
successfully in the first place, it should remain assigned (typically  
it's weird stuff in the Windows directory that causes the Windows call  
for assigning a display profile to fail; if it succeeds, it should be  
fine indefinately). But being sure your video LUT data is flashed is  
perhaps a bit more of a concern. Watch to see that a visible flash  
occurs after startup. Then you can launch Spyder3Pro or Elite, use the  
menu shortcut to go to SpyderProof, turn the video corrections on and  
off, and view the test images, to see that the grays are neutral,  
etc... when they are on.
