The monitor calibration profiles generated with Colorvision Spyder used to work fine with PS CS on Win XP. But after swapping to a new monitor and calibrating, opening PS gets an error message saying that the newly created profile may be defective. The new profile is used by Win XP just fine, according to the Control Panel. What does the PS message mean and how to fix it? How can I find out what PS is using for monitor profile? Thanks.

Edit > Color Settings > in ‘working spaces’ box open the drop-down menu by ‘rgb’ and near the top of the list it will show ‘monitor rgb – filename.icm’

win xp gives error messages almost anytime you try and use software not made by Microsoft. (maybe similar to: this is not a signed driver) If it works ignore the warning?
