I have a question. I calibrated my monitor with a spyder and I got a profile. It was placed in the appropriate folder on Windows XP. Is there a reason why the profile made no difference? I went to display properties and purposely changed the profile to something else and no matter what I change it too everything looks the same all the time.
When I did that on my Mac I could see a significant difference between each profile and on this Windows box I see no difference.
Anybody knows anything about that?

When I calibrated with the spyder I found that:
In the event that I choose a different profile other than the "spyder" profile, the system tells me that it can only work with the spyder pofile. This is fine with me b/c the spyder is the good one.
I'm thinking that your system is using the spyder even though you "think" you are changing to the old profile.

| when you finish calibrating, it shows you a before and after screen. |

it's possible the original spyder doesn't offer that feature. the spyder2 express does give you a preview of the before and after appearance, i would assume the more expensive spyder2 suite and pro also have a similar feature.

When you change your profile in the windows display properties, it doesn't load a new gamma curve for the video card so you don't see the change unless you reboot the system. There are utilities that allow you to change your profile on the fly without rebooting such as the one in this page

is it an LCD or CRT.
i recently calibrated a new LCD - and the result looked almost identical to my old uncalibrated CRT. David.C said he noticed the same thing with his monitors.
