Title: Cant find Profile HELP
Post by: Paul-H on March 27, 2011, 01:39:36 PM
Hi Guys

Hope someone can help with this

I have just tried to profile a new paper and all went well until I went to find the profile to move it to the profile folder

PP reported that the profile had ben saved as c:\Program files\Prism\ProfileName.icm  The trouble is when I go to the Program Files\Prism Directory the profile file is not there, its been quite some time since I last used this software so I know its something I have forgotten, can anyone point me to the correct location.

I am running Windows 7 32 bit if that makes a difference.

I did search through explorer but that didn't find it either.

Thanks for any help

Paul

Windows faked you out and hid the file in your virtual store.  Just recreate the profile and put it in a writable folder on your hard drive.  The default location is your Windows color folder: \windows\system32\spool\drivers\color.  If you use something under "program files", Windows will hide the file from you because those folders are not writable.  So simply change the file name to a writable folder location and recreate the profile.  It's easier than trying to find your virtual store.
