| Solution: |

You are using a large DPI setting, like
120. Monitor Calibration Wizard was not designed for use
in environments that use large DPI.
Monitor Calibration Wizard was designed at 96 DPI.
Temporarily
change you DPI to 96 in order to get a calibration with Monitor
Calibration Wizard. This can be done by doing the following:
- right click on your desktop
- choose "properties"
- click on the "setup" tab
- click the "advanced" button
- under the DPI setting, select 96 instead of your current DPI (most
likely 120).
After getting a profile created, you can set your DPI back to what
it was. It only causes a visual problem and does not affect how
Monitor Calibration Wizard operates. |

| Problem: |
|
Monitor Calibration Wizard is unable
to set the color profile used by Windows. No matter what settings
you try.
You are unable to apply any profiles. |
|
|
|
| Solution: |
|
Monitor Calibration Wizard requires
a feature called a loadable gamma ramp in order to set a color profile.
The generic drivers supplied by Windows generally doesn't support
this feature. Because of this, you should download the newest drivers
for your video card or at least install the drivers that were supplied
with your video card.
It's also important to realize Windows will not except every gamma
ramp setting, if your profile is very bright or very dark, Windows
may just ignore the profile.
Update:
There are some versions of drivers that have conflicts with the
Windows API calls used by Monitor Calibration Wizard. This includes
ATI Catalyst 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 versions of drivers offered
on ATI's web site. ATI has now fixed the problem
with the 4.6 version of their Catalyst drivers. There are
a few workarounds for this if
you are using one of the affected drivers:
- Install ATI's Catalyst 4.6 or later version of video
drivers
[Driver Download

- Install Catalyst 4.1 or earlier drivers from ATI [Download
Page] (Scroll down to the 4.1 or earlier
versions).
- Install the Omega version of the ATI drivers, for Catalyst
4.4 or later [Omega

- Install ATI's hotfix for the problem. [Download
