I cannot get DC to recognize my Spyder2 or my Dell U2415 display. It worked like a dream when I last used it 6 months ago. Under the Tools>>Instrument menu, “Enable Spyder2 Colorimeter” is greyed out. The “Display “field does not populate. “Detect Display Devices and Instruments” has no effect.
– I run Win7/64 bit.
– DC is version 3.3.5.
– ColorVision Spyder2 Pro software is installed along with the Argyll driver.
– Task manager shows Argyll LibUSB-win32 devices>>Spyder2(Argyll).
– The Spyder2 is plugged into the rear motherboard connector.I feel that I’m forgetting something obvious.
Additional thoughts regarding my post:
– A number of Windows services are set to manual on my machine. Is it possible that a required service is not waking up ?
– I went back to the original Spyder2 driver and discovered that ColorVision’s software also does not see the device. Windows itself does recognize the device when I plug it in.Under the Tools>>Instrument menu, “Enable Spyder2 Colorimeter” is greyed out.
Make sure you’re using the right version of Argyll – the x64 version will not work on a 32-bit OS.
Yes! the problem wasn’t 32/64-bit, but examining the menu item ? >>About, I discovered that DisplayCAL was not using the Argyll version I expected. It was using an older version which (apparently) had been only partially uninstalled. I uninstalled all Argyll files, cleaned the registry of miscellaneous entries, and reinstalled Argyll.
Eyerything works, life is good.
Thank you!
