Oooops.
Just installed Windows 7, installed Spyder 3 Pro. Definately not working correctly :-( Worked fine when machine was running Vista!!!!
Experimenting.............
It's a long time since I've used my spyder, I got fed up with it being a nazi about me not recalibrating every few days and uninstalled it.
Did you know...?
The Spyder2, Spyder2express and Spyder2Pro devices are all the same hardware? the only difference is the bundled software and the price.
there is an option in W7 colour management that unless checked will override colour management profiles. I had problems when I switched from Vista with it losing my custom profile every time I rebooted. I followed these instructions HERE and it sorted the problem.
i am running W7 64bit with the SpyderPro software - Seems to be fine and I have a 2 monitor set up? I didn't know there was an issue until I read this. Only recalibrated again last week.
Hi
Have just joined this forum as this interesting thread (debate) is affecting my setup also.
I have received "help" from Datacolor but they did not resolve the issue.
They too have stated that Spyder2Pro software will not run on W7 and tried to persuade me to buy the Spyder3Pro.
However after following the advice on this forum I still cannot get the software to run.
The issue seems to be the fact that the software cannot load the monitor profile into the graphic card.
I have tried all manner of configuration and have tried both Spyder2Pro & Spyder2Express software but still to no avail.
Currently running
W7 Ultimate N x64 bit
Nvidia EN 9600GT graphics card.
All with the latest drivers
So before I go and buy an Xrite LT persuade me that I am not as clever as I think I am and help get this thing running
TIA
what is the exact error or symptoms that you are getting?
I believe that Spyder2 is compatible with W7, but cannot tolerate wide gamut displays, which was the problem for me, as my dell studio threw out funny colours on the Spyder2.
you have loaded the latest software version as per post 18?
I am using 2.3.5
I am using 2.3.5 - w7 home premium 64
Have you tried running as an adminstrator?
What's the error you get?
