Adobe CS2 on Vista 32, Photoshop background not white
by Norman Willis on May 25, 2009 at 10:13:54 pm

Hello.

I have Adobe CS2 installed on a laptop with Vista Business 32. The white backdrop comes out slightly cream-colored.

When I start Photoshop, I get a dialogue box that says:

'The monitor profile "LCD color management and conversion" appears to be defective. Please re-run your monitor calibration software.' Then it gives me the options, "Ignore Profile" and "Use Anyway". Either one I choose, the background is not truly white.

How can I set the background color to white-white?


Also, I bought a Spyder3Pro monitor calibrator device, but when I go to install it, it says:

'It appears that you have Adobe Gamma or some similar product in your Startup Items. Please be sure to remove or disable other products such as this which may conflict with Spyder3Pro.'

Is it possible to set the background to white-white? I would like to upgrade to CS4, but it is not in the budget at the moment.

Thank you very much for your help.

Norman

Quite a lot of laptops come with graphic drivers that include color calibration. Could this be the issue? If so, turn it off...

Bless,
Chris

Hi Chris.

Thanks for your response. I looked in the NVIDIA Control Panel. While I did see an option to use manual settings for red, green, blue and gamma, I did not see anything that said "color calibration" per se.

The laptop is a Dell Inspiron E1720 with an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video card.

Is there some setting within NVIDIA that I missed?

Thank you,

Norman
