calibrate, Intel Mobil Express 945

Igor Alpha , Aug 29, 2008; 12:04 p.m.

I have the video card on Mobile Intel(R) 945/950 Express Chipset Family, it is a built in the motherboard. When I tried to calibrate my monitor, something strange happens, maybe someone can help.

The driver for this video-card comes with a software. When you do right-click on the desktop, you got 2 additional items: graphics characteristics and graphics parameters. The first one is essentially Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver where you can change Gamma, Colors etc. The same you can get if you go to the properties/settings/advanced see the picture below, bottom tab.

1) I do not change anything in the video card properties through the software mentioned above. 2) i calibrate the monitor using i1d2. The profile is created. 3) restart the comp.

the result: When the Windows starts, there is a blink, and the colors are changed (presumably the profile created by i1d2 loads). Then, when I go to properties of the graphics, just open the application (right-click, graphics properties) and do nothing there, only say OK, the screen blinks again, and I get different colors.

The Question: Which one is correct, before or after going to the properties? Why does it happen? Do I overload profiles? How do I get rid of the software form intel (I just want simple display properties, where I can see the profiles loaded and the drivers).

I do have the same problem with both, my laptop, and my workstation from job. Maybe someone already had the problem and figured out the solution.

ps: change the card, do not calibrate a laptop etc, just does not work :)

Thanks
