    After a format c: (Clean install, not using recovery as that was german and the language packs dont quite fix it) I can not get the X-Rite to work, I choose 2.2 Gamma and the inbuild (To use the sensor in the palmrest) but then it just says it failed starting. It have worked before so I think its just some driver issue, but I can not find out what is causing it, should I have something under Device manager (Cant find anything there, have 2 unknown though)

    The software can run, but once I try to make it start after choosing those settings it just comes with an error which is useless, so I have no idear where the error is :(

    If no one knows a solution, do I contact Lenovo or Pantone?

    Am I supposed to have a hardware unit visible in the device manager regarding this? Because there is none

    If I boot into my old win 7 x64 it works fine (The one that came with the computer) so not sure what driver I am missing :(
