Adobe Gamma Loader / Praxisoft WIZYWIG

[RJK]

Can anyone tell me if "Adobe Gamma Loader" (in MSCONFIG | startup), needs to
be loaded at startup ?

I've ended up in complete confusion again regarding "color profiles."
My XP, in "Color Management," is showing the *.icc profile that was created
and named by the Adobe gamme *.icc creation procedure,

If I install and run a similar procedure using Praxisoft's WIZYWIG
http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1B.html that ends up in MSCONFIG
| startup as well. Yet it's function is to create an *.icc profile which is
/ can be set in Windows Color management to be the default Windows monitor
color profile.

Conflicts can arise when more than one loader program may be present in the
Startup directory. To see the contents of the startup directory, run the
System Configuration Utility by clicking Start, Run..., and entering
msconfig in the Open box. Click on the Startup tab. Only one loader program
should be checked. This is a good time for a little system cleanup. Uncheck
unneeded resource-hungry programs such as Microsoft's evil FindFast. Some
sources of advice: Answers that work | Pacman's Portal Start Up Tips (which
has an impressive list of startup programs).

....and
Warning on generic monitor profiles There are some that will cause you
nothing but headaches in an ICC-aware application. An example is the profile
for the Sony CPD-G520 21" CRT monitor. If you go to their Monitor / Display
Support web page and download the driver for the CPD-G520, you'll find a
nice looking profile called Sony_d65.icm. A Trojan horse! Its TRC curves are
set for gamma = 2.5; it can get you into serious trouble. More details can
be found in Color management: implementation.

is worth noting
