i1 Pro Error

[wilson h]

I have an old i1 pro (2008 vintage!) and Ive been using it with display cal on my mac for years. But now that Ive switched to Windows I find that Im getting an error every time I try to profile my new Benq pd2700 monitor.

The log reads as follows;

Could it be that this device is just too old for the new monitor? Previously it calibrated and profiled my Eizo LCD on the Mac up until a month or so ago.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tufuse seems to be focus stacking programme. I dont think it will solve my problem with displaycal and my EyeOne Pro

Thanks,
