I’m trying to calibrate the display on a Linx 10 tablet running Windows 10. I had previously managed this under Windows 8.1 using an i1 Display 2 calibration device with its own software. Since then have switched workflow to DisplayCal but cannot get it to function properly on this tablet (I have no problems with my notebook or desktop).

I followed the usual procedure for installing the Argyll drivers for the i1 and my calibration device appears in Device Manager when attached via USB OTG. Unfortunately neither it nor the tablet’s display are visible within the DisplayCal interface, so I cannot commence a calibration routine. Pressing the refresh icon causes the application to flash but has no other effect.

  1. Hi,

    it seems this is a 32-bit version of Windows, but you have the 64-bit version of Argyll. You cannot run 64-bit software on a 32-bit Windows OS.

    1. I feel extremely embarrassed! I didn’t even think to check the Argyll files as I had downloaded and transferred them from another system some time back.

      Thank you, and many apologies for the time-waste!

  2. I have just updated from Win 8.1 to Win 10 and I have the same exact issue. Before I used the Datacolor app for calibrating, but now on Win10 it returns a bad profile (gray seems more like green). So I decided to try out DisplayCAL since I’ve always heard good things of it.

    I am using Argyll 1.8.3 (Argyll_V1.8.3_win64_exe.zip) with displayCAL 3.1.4 but no matter how many times I try to re-install the driver or everything else no monitors (I have 2) nor the Spyder instrument is detected. It took me some time to install properly the Argyll driver for Spyder 5 Pro but I managed it in the end, still nothing appears. I always went ahead and removed the Datacolor driver and application in case they were somehow interfering.
