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.

no surprise there, especially since whomever you talked to doesn't know
that it's supported on win7.

That's my mistake. He actually said it will not run on XP. That's
surprising because I installed it on my old XP machine to run a
succesful test for other support staff.

nope. take sigma for an example, a privately held company who loses
money with foveon. they're pouring money down a hole and nobody has
sued them, nor has anyone sued them because they fraudulently
misrepresent the product.

So you would recommend financing a poorly run company.
Yes, sure you would.

more of your bull****. i never said anything of the sort.



I see your sarcasm meter is still broken. So I will ask a direct question.

Would you recommend financing a poorly run company. The answer is either
yes or no.

of course not. what does that have to do with anything?

Your statement put the lie to your prior asinine statement:
" datacolor is a privately held company. they can do whatever the
hell
they want and neither you nor anyone else has to approve."

Of course unless they never need financing, or lines of credit. If you
don't understand that, you are either hopeless or lying.

IOW not even a privatively held company can do whatever it wants. Note:
With most private companies, with the possible exception of some lines
of credit, the owners will be personally responsible for repayment of
financing obligations. A clause to that effect appears in most financing
agreements that I have seen.

it doesn't matter whose fault it is.

if there's an actual problem with the app (and not just your system),
then it will get fixed, most likely by datacolor since microsoft isn't
likely to change anything.

if it only happens on your system, then there's nothing for either
company to fix.

Since the one you cite is from 2012, and there has been no increase in
the reports of this problem, I'm starting to think, too, that it's
your computer. Have you tried mainboard driver updates, and a bios
update? Did you run the Spyder install program as an administrator?
Did you check the permissions for the folder that the software is
trying to save to?

Dell maintains a program of driver updates so, initially, I thought I
was OK there. But now I have discovered the Dell diagnostic and update
software doesn't work and I wonder if the Evil Empire is to blame.

In any case I have gone back to Windows 7 for the time being.

The interesting thing is that Microsoft says my machine is OK for
Windows 10 but Dell says it haas never been checked for suitability d
that some drivers will need updating.

I'm intrigued by the fact that while I can download and install
Windows 10 immediately, Microsoft talks about days or weeks. Maybe
they are gatheering together a package of suitable updates for me
before they give me Windows 10? Who knows? Certainly not me.

I put 10 on a laptop that wasn't supported for even Win8, and
everything works. I also had put 8.1 on an unsupported computer, and
everything was fine. I'd ignore Dell's comments, and just use 10, and
update everything you can update.

I believe it's all the same. What you downloaded is what MS would send
to you in time. In fact, now that it's installed, MS might never
notify you.

You should be able to go to Dell's website and get any available
updates manually.

Funny thing, too, I updated 2 of 3 computers to 10, but the last one
is the first one I put on the "notify me" list, and it's not ready
yet. I'm too lazy to download the file myself.

In the past, MS had a policy of users going to the OEM for support
issues, allegedly because the OEMs made modifications to the O/S. I have
not run into that recently. I have not seen MS raise that issue since
Win7.

I forgive Bill Gates. I don't think it's him. Whatever has happened
turned off file scanning in McAfee and refused to let me turn it back
on. I had to completely uninstall and then reinstall before McAfee
would work properly again.

Instead of relying on Dell I have got stuck in with Driver Detective.
While that found a few out of date drivers, updating them has made no
difference to my basic problem.

I've got one more thing I'm going to laboriously apply and after that
I'm going back to 10 irrespective of whether the problem is fixed or
not.
