I just profiled my dual monitor setup two weeks ago and am now getting the nag screen but only for one monitor.  When I click through it it takes 30-40 seconds before the profiles kick in.  I noticed the problem after I had a fan speed program locking up my system and I had to do a reset.  I've since uninstalled this program but the single nag screen and slow start up continues.

Thanks for any hints.

Hmmm... I'm not even going to touch this; since you are using an  
unsupported OS (Win7), on a challenging configuration (Windows dual  
display), with our older generation of hardware (Spyder2), and a  
version not intended for multiple displays (Express). You could throw  
yourself on the mercy of Datacolor support, and ask for directions on  
how to eliminate all components for a clean reinstall. Since it worked  
before your other issue, that might make it work again. Just don't  
tell them all the unsupported things you are doing... <G>

Thanks, David, for the quick reply.

What's the latest generation?  Is Vista 64 bit supported?  If it is it will probably work with 7.  I get a little confused when I look at all the versions available for download.

I went with Express because the other version I was using didn't work with my two monitors.  Express worked great allowing separate profiles for each monitor.

Thanks again,

Tom

Errr... Spyder3...

Yes...

Probably doesn't count. Until we have it officially supported, then  
its an open question... there are just too many variables...
