Problem saving screen profile file.
| 2) Could the ICM file be saved elsewhere and then
| just copied into the folder? | | I've got no access to or control over the software which determines | where it is trying to save( | C:\Windows\System32\Spool\drivers\color\... This is a longshot, but I wonder about moving out the other ICMs temporarily. Also maybe look for a config file or settings. It's possible the software is operating on its own erroneous info. (This is really grasping at straws, but I'm thinking something like a recorded value indicating that it needs to replace the Dell ICM. It seems reasonable to suspect a bug in the logic of the software.) Another possibility, after backing up ICMs, might be to try FileAssassin to unlock the files without deleting them. I've had good luck with it for getting rid of weird locks, like where I accidentally click two things almost simultaneously and end up with a file I can't delete. FA is mainly for deleting such stuck files, but it can also be used to unlock without deleting. (If you have an ICM that won't move that might be a sign of a faulty file lock.) https://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin/ |

Single cards often drive multiple displays with separate profiles for each display. Such is the case here. |

Your statement doesn't mean that there cannot be a driver, or priority conflict, nothing indicates there is. if there was a driver issue, then there would be a lot more going on than just spyder. |
