I just received my Monaco Optix XR Pro software/colorimeter last night. I installed the software and ran thru the process to calibrate and profile my monitor. Everything appeared to work okay (at least according to the software wizard).
Today I printed out the User Manual and have been walking thru it. On Page 52, under topic ‘Save Profile’, there is a Warning for Windows Users. It suggests that we should make sure we don’t have more that (approximately) 30 ICC files in the target directory, or else the O/S may apply the wrong profile. I looked, and both my PC and laptop systems must have 50-60 ICC profiles.
My question is… What do I do with the other profiles (should I just move some into a second directory some where)? AND is there any way to determine which profile the O/S is applying?

good to hear…

right. I’ve heard about this bug but I think it is an old one - somewhere around win 2000 and perhaps early XP. I don’t think this is a concern any longer though…

In ColorThink I just move the profiles to an alternate directory on Win and Mac. There are all sorts of nifty hiding/showing methods but I like to: a) see what’s going on and b) change things back by hand if necessary. So I’d just move them out (or have ColorThink do it) and things should be fine.
