yeah, no idea where to put this-normal for me! And this will probably have TMI because wine is a wonderful thing.
So... I am having a calibration issue on one computer.
My problem is...
I have lost the keycode for my spyder3 I use on the big computer so I can't install it on this one. This one had the spyder2 on it, so... I went to use it. WON'T WORK. I get an error every time I select the spyder2 color meter no matter what I do. I have uninstalled and re-installed. I have un-installed and cleaned off everything to do with it-reinstalled. Nope. I un-installed, shut down, re-started, clean-up, shut down, re-start, did a disk cleanup, defrag, and THEN re-installed.
I never get the screen asking for my serial # no matter what I do???
OK, so I give up. But I need this monitor to be in reasonable calibration... It doesn't have to be PERFECT!!!
So, I found dispcalGUI which uses the spyder2 and does all of this wonderful calibration stuff. More calibration stuff than I have a clue about. It's so in-depth that depending on what you choose in the calibration menus it takes a couple of hours to calibrate. I just need to know WHAT part of these choices I NEED to use to be in reasonable range? OR tell me how to get the spyder completely GONE so I can re-install it and just use the dang thing?
So... has anyone used this EVER and can ANYONE (Keith?) help me???
