Vista - Monitor Color profile kicked out

Like many serious photographers my workflow is colour profiled so what I see
on screen is printed, using separate ICC colour profiles for monitor and
printer. I have done this for years.
I now have a problem with Vista32 Ultimate SP1 where the monitor ICC file
(correctly located in ...spool/color) and with the monitor color options
showing my ICC and with "use my profile" checked -- it doesn't.
The monitor profiling to generate the profile file runs fine and the result
on monitor is great until I sleep/resume or reboot -- at that point my
profile is briefly loaded and then "kicked out" as it reverts to native.
I need to find a way to stop Vista doing this -- and ideas?

yes...being virtually the same as you in this regards i being on vista
ultimate 64 have found clicking on the shortcut in startup folder for my
xrite-i1Display2 profile made will restart it if lost. the pointer in
startup folder is "CalibrationLoader 5.0" and installed with
xrites/GretaMacbeth eyeone match 3 version 3.62 there latest and only 64
bit/32bit app from their web site.

i read this on dpreview and nikonians and it works for this D700 user just
fine. btw it only loses its profile if it goes to sleep and i try not to let
that happen. if my monitor goes to sleep after 20 minutes of none use i
don't lose custom profile. seems to be a somewhat common issue.

Hi Joe,
It's reassuring not to be alone!
I'm posting in case this might help others.
I have no problems on my PC which uses an ATI graphics card and the custom
monitor profile is generated using the EIZO software that came with the
monitor.
The issue is on my laptop (the native colour is a bit crazy for any image
editing and the profile from the iDispaly2 is a big help for the laptop
although nowhere near EIZO standard) which uses an Nvidia card. Being a built
in card I have no serial number so it doesn't get on to thier support radar.
It doesn't seem to be on the MS radar either.
The iDisplay generated profile is shown as active and default but it's not
read.
The workaround, as you indicate, is a little freeware app at

This will actually load any icc profile you may have. It works for me.
