Spyder profiling
Just while I think about this...
Having upgraded to the Spyder 2 I have now managed to calibrate my LCDs - even a dual LCD on a single XP machine! However, the Toshiba M200 has bitten me again with its horrible video driver.
Once you have calibrated the M200 LCD, you may find that the "Color Management" setting in the display driver has the ICC/ICM profile associated with it. Remove it! Otherwise, Photoshop double corrects so that you can never get accurate colour in both Photoshop and the web. With the advanced colour management panel for the display driver empty (yes, empty!), the problem disappears. Thankfully the Spyder2 still manages to load the profile at bootup so it remains calibrated.
I can't tell you how long it took to find this out....!
