Post subject: Spyder 2 and Windows 7.
Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)
|
|
|
I have just put my old XP machine into semi-retirement and gone over
to real Gee-Whiz device running 64 bit Windows 7. I have been
disconcerted to find that my trusty Spyder 2 from ColorVision no
longer runs properly, even with the appropriate updated driver.
Particularly it 'dings' in the middle of the screen section as though
to indicate an error and is unable to save the adjusted monitor
profile at the end.
Has anyone else struck this problem, and were they able to make it
work?
If I'm unable to get Spyder 2 working properly I will have to replace
it. I expect there will be many opinions as to the state of the art
and I would like to hear recommendations as to what I should buy.
One thing is certain, I can't continue with an uncalibrated monitor.
Regards,
Eric Stevens.
There are two classes of people. Those who divide people into
two classes, and those who don't. I belong to the second class |

Did you Google it?

and probably plenty more results.
I use a ColorMunki on Windows 7 64 bit and it works fine. |

Yes (of course I Googled it) but that doesn't really give me any sense
of user experiences. That's why I asked the news group.
As far as my immediate problem is concerned, I've now got Spyder 2 to
the point where I can complete a profile but I can't save it:
"Sorry, there was a problem installing the profile
(InstallColorProfile)"
"Error 5 (CMS Support 327"
"Access is denied"
Apparently I can deal with this problem with the aid of Spyder's
'Profile Chooser' except this latest driver which I have downloaded
shows no sign of the menu through which this (and other things) are
supposedly accessible. >> Stay informed about: Spyder 2 and Windows 7. |

Try an install as administrator, not as a user. It looks like you are
running into one of the UAC (User Access Control) irritations of Win
7.

Try turning the UAC completely off.

Try this approach. Access Denied isn't uncommon in Windows 7 and you
seem to have tried the other quick approaches.

That's not the same thing. Are you using Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?
Right click the installer exe and select "Run as Administrator". >> Stay informed about: Spyder 2 and Windows 7. |

I'm beginning to think the problem is in the ATI driver. Even though
this model computer has been on the market only since 9 Jan, I find
there is a newATI driver. I'm going to try that. >> Stay informed about: Spyder 2 and Windows 7. |
