Resending this as I've just realized that the color management panel in the EX driver isn't new - it has been there since the driver update in November (senility is definitely encroaching). But the disassociation of all profiles in the Win update did indeed happen and the question remains ... what has changed re Windows color management? Apologies for double post, Cathy .............. Thanks, Trevor for your post. I just loaded Win98 SE and checked the Epson site to see if there was a new driver for the EX (there isn't). But, because of your post I checked the printer driver and sure enough there is now an option for color management (must have automatically updated with the Win install). I also went to the ICC profiles and discovered that they are now all installed (as opposed to the original Win 98 default, which was that none of them were installed), but that all associations have been lost (so must be redone). I have set my Epson driver for manual and chosen the Epson EX ICC profile as the default, but - should I also save and load profiles for Adobe RGB, Bruce RGB etc. and, if I do, can I then use them for printing? Anyone have a clue? The fun never stops, does it?

MicroSoft always has something else in mind, like "where whould you like to go without being consulted about it today". But enough objections were raised so that the new version of Win98 allows you to make manual selections of profiles. So definately check this choice, or Windows will pick the canned default for your printer without asking you, as it did in the last version. C.
