This is jsut an FYI post.  Last week when I tried to update my monitor profiles using Spyder4 Elite under Windows 7 (64 bit) I got the message that the save failed when I attempted to save the updated profile.  I searched the web and found several hits indicating that I needed to be running on an account with administrative authority.  Since I was, I opened a ticket to support and they gave me a suggested bypass.  It, however, also did not clear the condition.

I found a simple way around the problem if anyone else hits it.  I simply changed the name of the profile before doing the save.  Once it was saved, I went to the directory where the profiles are stored and deleted the old profile. It was locked requiring admin authority to delete but my id is an administrator and I was able to delete it.  If it happens the next time I refresh the profile, I will simply rename, delete, etc.

This is the first time this has happened and I have no idea what program decided to lock the profiles but who knows what evil lurks in the minds of programmers!  (And yes, I am a programmer - grin)
