Photoshop: ThinkPad Monitor Profile Defective

Hi all,

I have a new 14.1" T61p running Vista, and I have Photoshop CS3. When Photoshop starts, it tells me "The Monitor Profile 'Lenovo Thinkpad LCD Monitor' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software." I have options to "Ignore Profile" and "Use Anyway".

Anyone encountered this? I tried downloading and installing the latest monitor files from here:

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62923

(this includes TPLCD.icm, the offending monitor profile file) but I still get the error.

Is it possible that TPLCD.icm is indeed defective? I can just imagine the call to tech support, trying to convince them that the profile is defective... yeah, they'll buy that.

 

Yes I've gotten this error in CS2. I say use it anyways and PS seems to work but a little sluggishly.

 

i go tthat as well on my CS3, which has always been sluggish, more due to vista. lenovo is right on the ball with all their software and drivers...hah

 

I choose 'Ignore Profile' and it runs fine.

 

I just got a new T61 and CS2 gave the same message. I used the ThinkVantage software and installed all the available updates to the machine. CS2 now seems to be happy--no more warning message. There were updates to the BIOS as well as the Nvidia graphics card in the package, and I suspect that one of those did the trick.

FWIW.

 

update solved it here on XP with CS2 also

 

Hmm...I may have spoken too soon. I just installed CS3 and got the same warning message there. Went back to CS2 and the message had returned.

 

I use CS3 and am using the T61 LCD profile with the 169.09 drivers from laptopvideo2go and I get the error. I chose to ignore it and I dont see any slowdowns in XP.

 

I had this problem too, but it went away when I installed a program that made a monitor profile for me. Even after I deleted the program the problem seemed to have gone away. With that said, I am sure there is an easier way to get rid of that problem.

Not sure if this method works, but it seems like its worth a try.

1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Adobe Gamma.
3. Select Step By Step Wizard, and then click Next.

then take it from there...again have not tried it but I have heard it works because it creates a monitor profile or whatnot.

 

I got the same message on my R61i. I just slected ignore and it seems to run fine with no hiccups.

 

Running Adobe Gamma fixed the problem for me in both CS2 and CS3. I imagine other monitor calibration software would work as well.

 

Ran adobe gamma...it did the trick.

 

Where are the Adobe Gamma settings? I can't find it in Control Panel.

EDIT: I'm using Vista (x64)

 

I don't have Adobe Gama too

I'm with XP

 

I don't think cs3 has an adobe gamma.

 

Yes, CS3 doesn't have Gamma anymore.

Here's how to solve the problem:

^ I'm with XP, it doesn't show it like that

I open mine with right-click on the desktop -> Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Color Management .... where mine is set to default and no profile shows in the box. When I click add - I see like 30 different profiles ?!?!

 

Same Problem, updated the bios problem fixed.

 

Gamma is in CS3.

Replace 'C:\' with your respective Drive letter...

Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Control Panels

In there you should see the file ' Adobe Gamma.cpl'.

Copy and paste that file into 'C:\WINDOWS\system32'

Then go into your Control Panel, then Classic View, and you should see Adobe Gamma in there.

 

Nice. I runned a search for "Gamma", before, and nothing had been found... Weird.

 

same thing here, I hit ignore and it runs just fine.

 

10x, I found it.

will run it later though
