I want to color calibrate my new Dell XPS 15z laptop, but before I do I'd like to back up the existing color profile in case I prefer it to the calibrated one ...
The only problem is, when I open Color Management, NO default color profile is listed, so I don't know what to go back to. I know there HAS to be a default color profile somewhere ... How do I find it?
I have a problem with color management :
I'm an amateur photographer, I have made an ICC color profile for my screen under windows xp (using a friend's probe and software) the profile works perfectly under xp
I have loaded it under seven following all the steps found here
Color management settings: frequently asked questions - Windows Vista Help
at the "How do I change the default color settings for a specific device for all users on the computer?" section
The monitor is properly installed, the profile is set as default for my monitor, but I can see no change in color rendering... as if the icc profile is not active
Any pointers ?
My monitor seems to be faulty or just crap because when I first switch it on the gamma is way high and then it goes back its normal level after about 20 minutes, it is also too high anyway so I use "color management" to set a profile with less gamma...previously I have set 2 profiles one with less gamma and one with even less for when I first switch the monitor on.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhile playing Battlefield 3, often I get the color management popping up, asking me about is your computer running slow etc., keep this settings or change. Even when I choose the option to leave it and don't bother me anymore its comes back a few times. Is there a way to disable this?

But everytime I finished playing games such as Crysis 2 or Just Cause 2 or Adobe the screen will be in over brightness so that I have to go to Control Panel > Color Management and click Set as Default Profile to get it back to normal.
My question is what command I can set a color profile in a command prompt, so that I can put it into the end of a batch file?
change the color settings in Windows 7 to the default color settings in Windows XP so I can run a tool in Microsoft Excel.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two CP1518ni LaserJets and I am using the USB port in both cases. The laptop I am using is a Lenovo IdeaPad.I have no problem with the LaserJet that I use at home.The LaserJet that I use at work does not work, and it prints an extra page after every document. (I have heard that HP is aware of this problem - but no solution is currently available for USB users).Since I know that the printer works at home, how can I copy this driver and use it for my printer at work? Both printers are set up for USB so it makes sense that I use the same driver. I have labeled one as Home and the other as Work, in case there are documents still in memory when I close down the computer.Can I just copy the Home printer driver (how?) and then change its name to Work?

View 14 Replies View RelatedWith 32bit Vista Ultimate, the HP Color Laserjet 3500 printer worked fine. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and when I plugged the printer cable into the computer it started to download drivers, etc... After it was all set, I went to print. It goes into the print Que and just sits...almost like it is not being pushed to the printer. I uninstalled & reinstalled...also tried to run compatibility mode but to no avail.
Is this model not compatible with 7?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I'm a new Windows 7 user and I've noticed that last night when I left the computer on my taskbar's changed from grey to lightblue somewhere during the morning. Also, when I hover over or click the icons on the bar (say firefox), it no longer shows small samples of the windows/maps, but instead just shows the name of the map/program/window (the normal old xp style).
Then after a bit of time on the computer, the screen suddenly flashed and the taskbar was back to gray again and everything became how it was before. Why the hell is the computer/windows 7 doing this by itself?
I got a new monitor recently - a Viewsonic VA2333-LED. I found that I didn't like the color settings and was not able to get the right color/gamma/brightness and contrast settings by using the monitor's menu. I have an Nvidia card, so next thing I did was to edit the color settings through the Nvidia control panel to just how I like them, I selected "Use NVIDIA settings", hit apply and saved the new settings. Looked great until I had to reboot my computer or it went into stand by at which point mysteriously the "Use NVIDIA settings" would become unchecked and my color was back to being an overexposed, bright white mess.
Next I tried the WIndows Color calibration. I went through the process saved the new color profile and set it as the default. Then, lo and behold, after my computer went to stand by, the color was right back to being crap. I even went so far as to delete the default profiles completely, leaving only my adjusted profile set as default. But again, when the monitor goes to stand by, the color settings that I created are lost. Here's the strangest part, when I enter the WIndows 7 color management screen, it still shows my profile as selected (even though clearly my settings are not applied). I have to uncheck the "Use my settings on this device" box and then recheck it and voila, my settings are back. And on top of that, my settings are only lost about 50% of the time that my computer goes to stand-by. On reboot, they work properly, but get lost half the time when the computer enters stand-by.
Tryed my software no good, worked fine under XP and Vista. How did you get it to work I'm frustrated been fighting this since yesterday. HP has no windows 7 driver for 2600n also this printer isnt listed in the add printer HP list of drivers.
