Please forgive x-posting; but not sure where to ask this. (And yes, I
have tried Google - all I can find are sale offers!)

Nearly two years ago I purchased Datacolor's Spyder 3Pro CMS. I run it
on a Dell Dimension 3100 WinXP Pro with a Viewsonic VP201s monitor. It
all works for me.

Now for the problem/query.

For our photo club I have installed a British program called DiCentra.
This enables me to compile photo-competitions and then run them on the
club's machine and projector. (It works brilliantly, and I recommend it:

However it has its own colour management system; and so when I've run it
on my computer and exit it, it fails to replace the Spyder profile. So I
have to enter the task list and switch calibration Off, and then On
again.

Not a big deal, but I decided to try to check where the calibrated
driver is kept. And I can't find it!! I stored the calibration set,
named: VP201s_20101023 with Spyder software but I cannot find it stored
anywhere on my computer (I've even been through hidden files dated with
the last calibration date)!

Where is the Spyder calibration data stored on my computer, please?

(And why is there absolutely no helpful information on the Datacolor
website?)

By default the for color profiles in XP would be

usually in the systemroot\System32\Spool\Drivers\Color folder

Thanks for that.

Even if I found it (I had a quick, but unsuccessful look), I fear I'm
out of my depth, so will wait for the software supplier's answer.
