Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008Vista dumps color profile
I have a problem with Vista not retaining a custom color profile for the monitor, as has been doccumented by other users here and elsewhere. It loads on startup, and is dumped immediately. If I manually reload it, any interruption by the security settings or closing the lid of the laptop dumps the profile. I've seen lots of posts about this, but no solutions. Can anyone tell me if there's a solution? or will SP1 resolve this? Vista Home premium on a Sony Vaio laptop. Video card is Intel Mobile Express 965. Sony have washed their hands of the problem and say it's a Microsoft issue I have a similar problem. Like with Vincent my custom color profile is loaded during startup. Sometimes it stays, sometimes after 2 seconds it is dumped again for the standard screen. Without any obvious reason or cause. Sometimes I have to reboot twice to get my home-made color profile on the screen. Who knows what may cause this and, even better, how to solve it? Andrew, The Netherlands http://www.andrewvalkenburg.nl based on my response from Colorvision, MS knows about the problem, they just haven't done anything about it. This is a reconized Vista issue. Please ensure you have downloaded the latest version of Vista, this is a known Microsoft issue mostly occurring with the Home version but is does not exclude the Professional version. This issue is not caused by the ColorVision application. It is an issue with the Vista OS’s security features. This association issue is affecting all color management companies within this arena, not only ColorVision. Our engineers are working with Microsoft to find a solution. > I have a problem with Vista not retaining a custom color profile for the > monitor, as has been doccumented by other users here and elsewhere.

Although it doesn't solve the problem, it is good to know I am not doing something wrong. With regards, Andrew To whom it may concern: Eventually I found the (possible) cause and solution myself: If you experience the same problem and have Adobe Photoshop installed, try this: Go to Windows System Configuration Tool and select the tab Start Up (or something like that, I have the Dutch version). Look for the Adobe Gamma Loader and uncheck it's tickbox. Than restart Windows. This should do the trick. |
