Color Management on Windows Vista 64bit

Hi there,

I have a question. I'm using Windows Vista 64bit and SAMSUNG SyncMaster 245B+. I had set up Monitor Color with i1 Display2 after replace my PC. These days, I feel something wrong with the color on my Display.

Then, I found some article on the Web. It's easy to calibrate its color with i1. But it's only for 32bit.

Is that so?

Well, I just bought this PC a few month ago. Nest time, I'm sure to purchase Mac, instead of PC, anyway.

But if anyone had the same issue, please help.

Thank you in advance.

I had this issue with Vista along with many others quite a while back and ended up reverting back to XP pro until it was fixed.
All kinds of things were suggested from disabling the sidebar to turning off the Calibration Loader in startup.
I would have thought by know that as this was such a major problem with grumblings all over the net it would have been addressed.
I came across a link to download the Lut manager which has apparently worked for some people.
The page is here:

hope it helps,

I use a Colormunki with Vista 64 bit. It seems to work fine. I think it is also using 32 bit software based on where it installed to. It works fine. If you have the product, I would install it and try it out.

You have to re-profile every few weeks, more or less depending on the quality of your monitor and how much it drifts. Most of these tools have a part in the profiling process that show before and after so you can see if it does anything. You can also tell Windows to not use the profile, and see if that improves things or makes them worse.

Thank you

I'm sure to have installed the soft onto 64bit anyway. Sometimes, it works fine, but sometimes not. Until upgrading from XP pro to Vista Business, I didn't feel so anyway. I've called MS support, even Xrite, they couldn't resolve this issue.

But this time, I got a lead from Gary up there, I'll try something anyway.

Thank you two of you.

If something change, I'll report you guys later.

Thanks a lot!!!
