Title: ICC Profile not loading at startup and WIN 7 fix
Post by: DrunkenZombiee on August 25, 2011, 07:30:39 PM
I bought the bullet and bought an expensive Monitor calibration tool. I was very happy with the results apart from the fact that it looses the calibration each time I restart windows :doh:. I have to start iProfiler to apply the setting each time I turn my PC on.... Annoying!

After attempting to delete all drivers and playing with colour management for several hours and getting frustrated I came across this webpage (http://www.pusztaiphoto.com/articles/colormgmt/win7/default.aspx).

It turns out you have to somewhat hack Windows 7 to get it to work properly by tricking it into thinking that you have done the calibration through its crappy on screen "can you see this now" rubbish.

Thought I would share this with you all in case you are having similar problems.

Now for the pics of the red arrows.
