I have a Matrox Millenium P750 multi-monitor graphics card and a ColorVision monitor Spyder with PhotoCal. I am using 2 CRT’s in independent mode.

I tried to assign profiles generated with the Spyder (one for each monitor) by going to Windows (2000 Pro) Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, Color Management to specify a profile filename. This works fine for the secondary display.

But, when I try it for the primary, and hit the Assign button, I get an error message from "Microsoft Color Management System" stating, "An error occurred while associating <profile.icm>. This is not a valid color profile." The same .icm file works properly elsewhere.

The only thing I can find in Matrox software is a calibration ‘by eyeball’ similar to Adobe Gamma, which of course does not use the colorometer.

Please advise!
