Color correction in Vista 64 SP2

[Squidmaster]

I have a monitor that benefits from a color profile I have. Unfortunately, loading it into the "color correction" element of Vista does absolutely nothing. I have it using my profile in "devices" and merged those results with the default, which seems to be how it is done, yet nothing changed whatsoever. Am I missing something? How do I make this work?

Thanks for your time!

It should be in System32/Spool/Drivers/Color folder too,that is where mine is at .

Make sure its set as default in your video control panel too.

The NVIDIA control panel has no option to load profiles. You can only adjust settings on your own, and poorly at that. Maybe that comes only with the top of the line cards or something. I know the profile is technically present in Windows because running xcalib with no parameters adjusts the gamma appropriately. It can't do that unless the default profile is set properly.

I use ICM colour profile(from my calibration hardware).

Anyway you looked in Monitor Advanced settings tab in Vista then Colour Management,you can add ICM/ICC profiles there.

Right. The point is that loading it there doesn't make any visual changes at all. Only xcalib seems to know it is the default for handling gamma.
