    My wife was on a XP Dell i9300 and has recently moved to a Vista dell i1720 (with X3100 integrated graphics).

    She is a photographer who does a lot of post-processing work on her images on the laptop (its main purpose). She was using an Optix color calibration tool/software. Apparently it has been discontinued and the patches do not enable it work on vista (ie it doesn't calibrate correctly and as soon as you unplug the calibration sensor, Vista reverts back to its default settings). Apparently Vista does color management completely different and the calibration tool has to be Vista compatible/compliant.

    We have found a couple - Penetone Huey and Spyer2 Express. Does anyone have experience with these? Can anyone recommend others? Any "gotchas" to look out for in picking out a calibration tool with Vista?
