2005wfp calibration
Hi.
When I try to run adobe elements I get this message:
The monitor profile "Dell 2005FPW Color Profile" appears to be defective. Please rerun monitor calibration software.
I can't find this software on my system, can anyone tell me how to calibrate this monitor please?
Thanks.
Mike.

- Let me guess - got it from whatbay? Refurb. no manuals, no driver/software disks?If this is the case than navigate to dell's support page & look for utilities etc. for the monitor + 2004wfp color profile. btw. If you have used adobe for a profile then delete it & load the dell one. Something about adobe & dell;)cheers
- Thanks guys.
I've downloaded the driver and over-written the one I had which was the same, but I still can't callibrate my monitor. Do you think this is a problem with my monitor itself? Is there any special controls etc I should do with it to make it callibrate?

I don't have elements but I have PS.my guess is... it's probably an elements message and nothing is wrong with your monitor.have you used any software or hardware to calibrate your monitor?if not, then your monitor isn't calibrated.first. check your graphics card. what color profile do you have loaded?next. what are your color settings in elements?I'm gonna go to bed soon but I'll check back tomorrow.mebbe we can figure this out.- Could be the 'monitor calibration software' referred to is Adobe Gamma. I found the following in an Adobe Support Knowledgebase article.
If you create a profile in a third-party monitor calibration utility, Adobe recommends that you load that profile in Adobe Gamma:
1. Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Adobe Gamma.
3. Select Control Panel, and then click Next.
4. Click Load to the right of the Description text-box.
5. Navigate to the folder that contains the profile you want to load:
-- Windows/System/Color (Windows Me and 98)
-- Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color (Windows XP)
-- Winnt/system32/spool/drivers/color
6. Select the profile created by your third-party monitor calibration utility, and click Open.
7. Click OK in Adobe Gamma.
8. Click Save when the message, "Save changes to the profile [profile nam e.icm] before closing?" appears. After you close Adobe Gamma and click Save, the profile * will be available to Photoshop.
However, Adobe (and Dell) recommends not to use Adobe Gamma on LCDs. You can follow the insructions on the link above to remove it. Is Adobe Gamma Loader in your Startup folder?

I bought the monitor from Dell earlier this year, but I don't seem to have received any disc, didn't know it came with one.
I shall try your advice and see what happens.
Thanks.
Mike.
