    Please help!

    I loaded the spyder2 ICC calibration someone helpfully posted on here a while back. However, whenever i log on to my computer it reverts back to the windows 7 default and i have to open up the color management box and un-check then re-check the 'use my settings fot this device' box to get the colors back.

    anyone had a similar problem? and/or got a solution?

    Any help much appreciated

    First, disable the Intel Persistance Module (igfxpers.exe).

    Second, change how Windows 7 handles profiles..

    Should be good to go after you do this.

    falcon64, i'll give that a try later.

    Misio9, I had already done that ok (i think!), I had managed to get the ICC profile to load but the problem was that every so often (in particular when waking from sleep). Windows would revert to the default. About one second after log-on you can notice a shift in the colour pattern.
