I'm desperately trying to install Wincolor on XP Pro x64. (I've been hit by two Samsung displays having different LCD panels in them!). However, when I try to install it, I get the message: "Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for Windows XP requires that your computer in running Windows XP SP2 and that you have administrative or install privileges on your computer." Well, according to my system properties I am running Service Pack 2, running Windows XP, and I'm logged in as administrator. If I assume it's a problem with compatibility, then what am I supposed to do to synch up my two LCD displays? All the web seems to say is 'install Wincolor'. Would that I could! If there's a replacement tool that'd be great. Any help hugely appreciated. |

My initial reaction is that the program is not x64 compatible. When it says it requires Windows XP with Service Pack 2, it is referring to the standard 32-bit Windows XP Pro/Home, not Win x64.

P.S. Microsoft specifically states it for Pro & Home, which is the 32-bit versions: System Requirements * Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP; Windows XP Home Edition ; Windows XP Professional Edition ; Windows XP Service Pack 2; Windows XP Tablet PC Edition * Operating System. Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later installed. >>>> This program is not recommended for use on any other version of Windows. <<<<< * Hardware. See the minimum hardware requirements for the Windows XP operating system you are using. * Microsoft .NET Framework. Version 1.1 of the Microsoft .NET Framework is required. This software will be automatically installed when running Setup if it is not already present on your system. (Other versions of the .NET Framework may be safely installed on your system without affecting the use of this software.)

XP Pro x64 SP2 is a different OS from XP Pro Sp2 x86. It requires 64bit drivers and if the manufacturer's website does not specifically list support for XP Pro x64 then you are out of luck. Contact the mgf.

Installing the monitor profiles which come with the monitor drivers should get you most of the way. If you have Photoshop or Elements, you can use Adobe Gamma which will be installed with them. Otherwise you need a colour management device. See http://spyder.datacolor.com/products.php , confirm x64 compatibility, and decide how much you are willing to pay. There are other manufacturers with devices at similar prices.

This is the way to go to have a pair of matching screens. The more expensive the calibrating-device, the more colour-accurate your monitor-profile will be obviously, but then this is limited by your monitor as well. jud |
