Re: win 98 calibration woes



This might be worth mentioning.
A little while back on the list it was mentioned that Win 98 will always
default to one of the Epson profiles it thinks is the correct one and it
does
not matter which one you choose. This was to be worked around by only
leaving the profile that you want to use in the windows/system/color
folder and moving the rest of the profiles into a different folder until
needed. I believe that there is a link to this on the Digital Darkroom site.
As well, this problem has been fixed in Windows 98SE.
