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. Regards, Murray Zaharia Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur. Anything in Latin sounds profound. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave King <kingphoto@mindspring.com> To: <epson-inkjet@leben.com> Sent: Thursday, October 28, 1999 5:18 PM Subject: win 98 calibration woes > I'm beginning to wonder if I'm one of the lucky windows 98 users that just > can't calibrate my system no matter what I do.
