Hi Mojoe

There is currently one well-known problewm with using icc profiles on Vista,
it is described in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935893
If you are hitting this problem, I don't think there is any solution yet.

If that is no't the problem you are seeing, can you describe a bit more,
exactly what isn't working? It's obvious to you what the problem is, but it
isn't obvious to us (well, not to me, anyway).

Eg, you go into the Colour Management dialogue, You choose your device, you
check teh checkbox marked "Manual" you select the Profile you want loaded
.... and then what happens?

Or are you loading an ICC directly in Photoshop or Illustrator, etc?

Once we have more detail, we may be able to suggest a solution.

I should also add, this newsgroup is a user-to-user self-help group, not an
official delivery channel for Microsoft PSS. There are no guarenteed
response times, or even any guaranteed response - just a bunch of
semi-helpful users. hanging out helping each other.

Which is fine. But if you need a guaranteed or an urgent reponse, your best
bet will be to open a Service Request with Microsoft Product Support (see
http://support.microsoft.com). Once you have an SR number, you get
guaranteed responses, and a formal escalation chanel for your problem; down
to the deepest layers of Microsoft, if necessary.

If you don't mind trying your luck here, then tell us more about exactly
what isn't working.

Cheers,

Thank you for your time, well you see i have been an XP user to right about
now. And with my 226BW i used a color profile that was made by Syder for my
Lcd that fixed all the washed out colors, i did do what i should added the
color profile to Spool .Added the profile to color management and did what
you said. But even after reboot the profile wont load, no matter what profile
i select it wont change a thing for me. Also i dont have any Adobe right now,
its a fresh install with an X1900XT and Vista business.

Is that "Syder" ... or "Spyder", as in Colorvision Spyder?

Did you check the "Use my settings for this device" checkbox, under the
Devices tab?

You need to add the Profile, *and* turn on the profile for the device in
question (eg LCD Monitor).

Apart from that ... uh, sorry, I don't know :-( A couple of random ideas:

- maybe try running Colour Managerment as Administrator; possibly you are no
getting prompted for Administrator credentials and so, the changes you make
get discarded (you need to mbe administrator to make low level device
changes).

- if it is Spyder you're using, ask the Colourvision support people ...
maybe there's something about their *.icc which is not Vista compatible (I
can't imagine what, but there is all the new WCS stuff in Vista so maybe
something changed).

- try using a different icc file, maybe one of the Windows-supplied
Profiles, to see if the problem is specific to the icc or whether all
Profiles are having the same problem onm your system.

- contact Microsoft PSS and open a Service Request (at least that way you
get a guaranteed answer).

Sorry I can't do more to help. Good luck, hope you get it working ...

Well i got it fixed, reinstalled Vista and when i installed the driver for
my 226BW i removed the standard Icc profile and renamed the one made by
Spyder, that fixed it. But thanks for your time and help M8.

Cool! Thanks for the update, great to hear it's working at last.

A truly weird problem - I haven't seen anything like that before.
