Adobe Gamma Loader is loaded on bootup on my System A. I want to use the same profile on Adobe Gamma Loader on System B. How would I do that?
I have AGL installed on both systems, since I have Photoshop CS2 on System A and Photoshop 7 in System B, though AGL does not run on bootup on Sytem B.
On System A, there were many profiles in the folder \Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color\. When I opened AGL on System A from the Control Panel, I saw "sRGB-IEC61966-2.1" but I did not find exactly that file in the above folder on System A.
Thanks for your help, CMA

The question is, not how, but why would you do that?

Adobe Gamma Loader loads the profile you created using Adobe Gamma for that system’s specific monitor.

You need to create a new profile for the second system – and, of course, re-run Adobe Gamma on each, every month or so to accommodate any changes due to deterioration of your monitor.

Hi Chris:
On System B, I want the colors to look as much as possible a like those on System A. How would I do that?
I haven’t changed the profile on System A in 3 years. Should I create a new profile and if so, how? Thanks, CMA

You should run Adobe Gamma on system B too. Different monitor, different profile: same colours.

Is it necessary to make sure AGL loads on bootup on System B? Thanks, CMA

Yes, but it is also important to not mix monitor profiles between computers. Calibrate them separately.
When first having used Adobe Gamma, the Gamma Loader should launch at boot.

Note Adobe Gamma (which you use to calibrate and profile the monitor) is an applet in Control Panel.

Calibrate monitors regularly.
