    Vaio Laptop will not load monitor profile

    I have a fairly new Win 7x64 i7 Vaio IPS Screen laptop, that I use for my photography trips. I have the screen calibrated using X-Rite Eye Match 3 software and the calibration profile is saved in the color management area. For some unknown reason this Vaio will not load the calibration profile at Start-up. I did not have this problem with my previous laptop and do not have the problem with my Win 7x64 PC. I can force the profile to load by going into the display color management area, but I really want to figure out why it will not load automatically at Start-up. I have followed the instructions at this link: Stop Losing Display Calibration with Windows 7 - Laszlo Pusztai and it does load the profile, but then when I reboot it will not load and goes back to some default profile that either Windows or Sony have determined for this machine. I cannot find anything in the Services or Start-up menu that might be causing a conflict, but I am being told that Sony might have something hidden at Start-up that is conflicting with the LUT Loader. Can anyone here help me out with this issue, and help me figure out how to get the calibration profile to load when I boot up the machine?

    Much appreciated
    Tim

    I am somewhat surprised that none of the Vaio experts here had any solutions for this issue. Anyway, I finally found the solution at another forum and it works. Here is the solution:

    From start menu>opened up the VAIO control center.

    DISPLAY> COLOUR MODE SETTING

    Deselecting "Change to optimal color mode automatically"

    then

    Select : "Select from following color modes:"

    Select: "Do not apply color mode"
