Re: Color Management: Vista won't hold a custom ICC profile

I am having this problem too.

It would appear that SP2 doesn't want to read my icc profile, it
briefly loads at startup then switches back to a redish screen very
quickly. This problem started after I installed Vista SP2 and updated my
graphics drivers from Nvidia 178.15 to 185.85 (for a Geforce 9600GT). I
cannot be sure which is causing the problem. I did however have to
reload my saved icc profile into Color Management after the SP2
installed.

I am going to roll-back my graphics drivers to see if this helps.

I used an i1 calibrator to calibrate my monitor - comes with the
software Eye-One Match 3 which also installs a system startup item
called Calibration Loader 5.0.

ok an UPDATE to my post above. btw thanks Andrew for the thread link
regarding DisplayProfile - I have not tried it yet but may yet do so.

However, something bizarre is going on here - I turned off the
Calibration Loader startup item (which is installed along with Eye-One
Match) restarted and interestingly it would appear that the system is
now holding what looks to be my custom icc profile !? I checked some
numbers in photoshop and they are correct. I switched the Calibration
Loader startup item back on, restarted vista and the problem is back
hmm. So the Calibration Loader start up item that is meant to load my
custom calibration at startup is conflicting with the system? when
switched off vista appears to be handling my icc profile fine.

I going to test this further by creating a wacky icc profile - then
test with the Loader on and off just to be sure that Vista is handling
the profile when the Loader is switched off.

Existing software might not be fully compatible with SP2 or specific
programs might require a reinstall due to file changes made by installing
SP2.
