In the good old days when using XP and an old CRT monitor Spyder 2 could be relied upon to correct my colours and give faithful prints. Now with my new Windows 7 and Samsung SyncMaster P2450H monitor the colours on the screen are OK but prints are terrible. The Spyder operates in the usual way but on completion of calibrating I'm left with the following.Sorry, there was a problem opening the profile 'none' for display 'Generic PnP monitor'. Please select different profile using profile chaser. What am I doing wrong, and where and what is the profile chaser?

Thanks Peter. In the good old days when using XP and an old CRT monitor Spyder 2 could be relied upon to correct my colours and give faithful prints.

[quote]Sorry, there was a problem opening the profile 'none' for display 'Generic PnP monitor'.[/quote] This would suggest that your monitor drivers & inf files have not been loaded or installed correctly, If they had the message should not say Generic PnP monitor ( PnP is for Plug and Play ) That just means it will work when plugged in, But has no identity or default colour profile. The Spyder software needs the correct information as does the OS, One thing I have found is that as a starting point to calibrating a whole new set up is this.!!! Make sure you installed the latest ' Graphic Board ' drivers.

Make sure you have installed the latest ' Monitor ' driver ( Basically an ' Inf File & ICC profile ). Here double check in the colour management section that the default profile has been loaded and is now the ' Default ' option. Then in Device manager check that the monitor is correctly identified.!!! Only now load the Spyder software, Do the usual restart and when the display has reached optimum running temp, Carry out the calibration.!!! One last thing, Make sure to use the ' OSD ' on the monitor to check that it is at ' Factory Default ' settings before starting, And if required ' Move the OSD to one side of the screen, Or it may end up under the Spyder window in the calibration process.

Many thanks to all for the above advice, I've made progress and downloaded the latest version of Spyder and the latest driver for the monitor. On reinstalling the Spyder software it was unable to find the sensor, showing.'

Please check that your device is selected in the preference dialog'. Having just selected the Spyder sensor in the previous window this is perhaps not a helpful suggestion. I've checked the sensor in device manager and it appears as it should. I did complete the download and strangely ended up with the temporary window advising that the colour profile has been successfully loaded a permanent feature in the middle of the desktop! I'm confused that a piece of software that worked well in XP has now become so useless in 7, any advice still sought. Thanks again, Peter.

Peter first off you need to allow some time the first time you run the spider software and running the wrong version may have corrupted the your PC and remember 7 is different from Xp so why would software written for Xp work on 7. If they were that similar it would just be Xp.

Anyway, un-plug the spyder and do a clean un-install of spyder 2 software, re-boot then load the new software. Start it for the first time and it should prompt you to plug the spyder in. At this point the found new hardware thing should start running in 7. Let all that complete and you may need to close then re-open the spyder software for it to find and select the correct sensor.

I found with vista that the spyder software became confused by the add new hardware function running. Once sorted it never happened again. And check if you have NVidia graphics cards as you may need to remove the colour management program the driver loads as it fights with the Spyder software to load colour profiles to the graphics card.

I had problems with Spyder 2 on Windows 7 - googled it and the spyder 2 software isn't compatible with W7 - though on the odd occasion I can get mine to work.

I think the way Windows manages its graphics has changed between Vista and 7. Spyder seems to hijack the screen which works pretty well in Vista, but not well at all in 7. The annoying thing is that they have no intention of correcting this issue for Spyder 2 - their answer is to 'buy spyder 3', though they do give a slight discount - great!
