I don't think this is Datacolor's fault. Probably true. But somebody here made a general statement that is, to say the least, inaccurate, and one that clearly applies to all companies. applies to all privately held companies. -- PeterN |

BREAKING NEWS: I've made my way further up the DataColor help-desk tree and I have just been told by a more senior member that the new Spyder 5 is not compatible with Windows ***7***. He has not yet explained why. I have told him that after more than a year of working satisfactorily Spyder 4 suddenly started having the same problem in June this year. I have asked him whether this problem extends to Windows 10. It will be interesting to hear his answer. He assures me it will run on Windows 10. So here goes ... MORE BREAKING NEWS: Installing Windows 10 has made little significant difference to the behaviour of Spyder on my machine. There is a difference: whereas before the error was SaveFileUsingICM.DeleteFile failed [... it is now SaveProfileUsingICM.InstallColorProfile failed [.... Aah - The march of science. :-( I've think I've gone as far as I can with this one. It soon will be time for me to change screen calibrating hardware. I suspect that Datacolor will try to correct the issue. At my last calibration, before the monitor died, I used Spyder for color correction. -- PeterN |

The non-performance of the file management software has obviously caught the 'help' staff by surprise. It affects both Spyder 4 and Spyder 5 and I suspect it will also affect Spyder 3. that sounds like a bug which will be fixed, unless it's something specific to your system which they can't reproduce. bugs are not the same as being incompatible. the specs say it's compatible with win7 and later, so whoever told you it's not compatible with win7 is wrong. |
