ICC color profile unloads in vista after a few seconds

[Smile]

Hi. I recently installed vista. When I turning on the computer, it loads the color profile but a minute later, or after a few seconds after loading the profile the profile is unloaded.

I can confirm this by using my eyes as I see desktop change and using Monitor CalibrationTester that displays LUT curves.

I do not have any conflicting programs, no adobe gamma.
I have my profiling package LUT loader CalibrationLoader.exe in windows startup.
I have set the profile as default and checked use this profile checkbox and I have only 1 profile.
I have set it as default even in system defaults.

Is there a fix?

Possible temporary sollution but how to load (read) my profile into this program
Monitor Calibration Wizard

It sems the version that can load ICM/ICC profiles is not freeware. Still looking for a fix

It certainly looks like Bill Gates has struck again.

If Vista dims your screen to ask for permission to continue, it will also clobber your calibration:

But delayed loading somehow does not help in my case. I have a clean vista install. Meanwhile I use gretag own free tool called displayprofile to load it manually.

For anyone who has two monitor setup and a graphics cart support 2 LUT tables you can load separate ICC profiles to each with this nice free tool I found http://vgrin.front.ru/CMS/

It looks like a fix may be in the works as a future hotfix for SP1.
