DisplayCAL Profile Loader issues

[Jamie]

So I just installed DisplayCAL on two laptops. One laptop which has only the single laptop screen, the Profile Loader is launched at startup and it’s in color.

On the second laptop which has two screens (one laptop screen and one external monitor) the Profile Loader didn’t load. I can launch it, but it’s greyed out. I noticed on this machine that after the profile procedure has been finished, it asks if I want to have Windows take care of the profile loading, or something like that, and while that option is tick boxed, I can’t change it. Windows sometimes isn’t loading the correct profile when starting or resuming from sleep.

I’m wondering why one one machine DisplayCAL Profile Loader works correctly and on the other it’s not.

Both laptops are Windows 7 Pro. I’m happy to provide more info if it’s needed.

Thanks for the assistance.

You have to run DisplayCAL as administrator to be able to change this setting (right-click, “Run as administrator…”).

Thank you for the reply. Being so new to the software, is there anyway to re-enable that feature without once again going through the whole calibration process once more? If not, it’s no big deal. I was planning on doing a new profile using XYZLUT + Matrix, since it looks like that might be one of the better methods. I’m using the curves + matrix right now.

Sure. Click the small “Install profile” button next to “Settings”.

Perfect. Thank you, sir! I got it working by running the software as admin as suggested.
