I don't need a munky, because I calibrate only monitors anymore. Printer profiles I out source now.

I wonder what is the best calibration combo for monitor these days?
I have OptixXR, which is very good, but it doesn't fully support in Win 7 32 bit environment and not at all in 64 bit. Time to get something better.
Anyone has an experience with Eye One Display 2 or Spyder? Wonder how they stack up against each other.
Suggestions are welcome.

I d/l ColorEyes Pro software calibrated my monitor (Dell U2410) using OptixXR with it. It doesn't require any adjustment on the monitor itself, like color, brightness, etc.  You just set gamma, black point and more in software and it does the rest. How does software itself control monitor? I must say that I'm impressed with the result.

Fred for some reason I don't get a hand cursor, but I do with other settings for print size. Something gives here.
Also, how do I apply filter in QIS?

I would like to know if anyone has used it and what are your thoughts about it. It supposed to work with a lots of different sensors.

When I use "CUSTOM PAGE"  for print size I no longer can reposition added text (no hand cursor) nor can I add second text label to an image. It works fine with "original size" and "fit to page".
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!

David, if you want I'll share one of my U2410 profiles.
Dell's profile is corrupted somehow.

On my 32-bit win7 they close also.

I still say this: windows runs on millions of computers that are configured differently software and hardware wise and I think it is an accomplishment in it self. Otherwise, I think everybody would run Linux of some flavor or Apple, but it is not happening.
Even Mike, doesn't want to release his software for other platforms.
In my case, I used Windows from 95 to win7 now (and other MS applications) and can see a huge progress. Anybody here old enough to remember WordPerfect, Lotus Wordstar and a likes. All are gone now, but MS is here to stay.
What can I say? I love windows!

I think one would be allowed a few mistakes in such a large project as ANY Windows version. Where would we be without Windows and Microsoft? We must remember that they are expected to work correctly with 1000s version of software.
In dark ages?

Well I am convinced. Profile is saved in a right directory and clicking in color management tab use my settings and EZColor makes your profile as default.
I only know that I had no problem upgrading to Win7 at all. Maybe my luck, but we will see as more folks update.
Thank you!

(1) Right click on the desktop and select "Personalize".
(2) Click "Display".
(3) Click "Change Display Settings".
(4) Click the tiny "Advanced Settings": link in blue.
(5) Click the "Color Management" tab.
(6) Click the "Color Management" button: only button on this tab.
(7) Click the "Advanced Tab".
[8] Click "Change System Defaults".
(9) Click the "Advanced Tab".
(10) Uncheck "Use Windows Display Calibration".
(11) Close out all open dialogs.
(12) Right click on your "Spyder2Express" icon on the desktop.
(13) Select "Run As Administrator": just opening it WILL NOT
WORK.
(14) Go through the process of profiling your monitor.
(15) Repeat steps (1) through (9) above, then
(16) CHECK "Use Windows Display Calibration".
(17) Click "Start", "All Programs", and open "Startup".
(18) Right click on the Colorvision Startup and delete it.

It maybe necessary to do with Colorvision, but with X-Rite EZColor it isn't necessary. It just works fine.

Appreciate all your help.
I didn't know that, but I must be blind, I don't see any 18 steps in the article that you linked above. Is it an article I should be reading? Where should I start?
Lucky me, I didn't encounter any problems migrating to win7!
Sorry!

I just read Mike's article and see that he recommends turning of color calibration in Win7.
How to accomplish this is not clear to me. Could you help with step by step?
I just did it in "personalize" then display and color management, use my settings box checked.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!

okay, I upgraded to win7 ultimate and everything seems to work.
I also updated NVIDIA driver.
Should recalibrate monitor now?
What, if my white luminance is less than 120 (117) and black luminance is .30? How these numbers affect profile?
Thank you!
