Yes
Are there any models that just plain wont work on vista let alone 64bit?
I heard somewhere that the spyder 2 model doesnt work, is this right?
 
I have the Huey Pro, working on Dual Screen, Vista 64bit no problems, if that helps
 
My ColorMunki works fine on Vista Premium if thats any help, not sure about 64 bit though :thinking:
 
Gretag MacBeth EyeOne Display 2 and LaCie Blue Eye Pro, both running fine on Vista 64-bit.
 
I use Spyder2Pro on my Vista laptop. The calibration is fine but during bootup the video drivers reset the display (or something like that) after the display profile has been set by the Spyder software. I need to use Autoruns or something similar to disable an nVidia dll from running during boot. With that disabled everything is perfect.

This is the registry entry that needs disabling, as listed in Autoruns....

NvCplDaemonNVIDIA Display Properties Extension - NVIDIA Corporation - c:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll

If I update the drivers then the dll comes back so I need to disable it again.

funny you say that, mines started doing exactly the same thing, must have been a driver update or something and it's a right PITA :bang:
 
If the nvidia driver is resetting the display double check you've not changed anything in the nvidia cpanel for brightness, gamma, etc. If everything is on zero it shouldn't change anything on startup.

WRT the question at hand, Vista64 here, with the Huey Pro before I upgraded to the Spyder3 - both are fine :thumbs:
 
I use a spider 2 on my vista 64 business edition..no problems at all..just had to download the newest program from data color...

NVpanel should be on 50; 50; 0 and 50 for brightness, contrast, vibrancy and gamma.
 
Huey pro works fine on my vista home premium 64 bit
 
does any one know if the Huey nonpro works on Vista 64. cos on their website I se it says "now compatible with vista" does that mean it didn't?

Originally, yes. But it was never a incompatibility with the hardware itself.

All Pantone have done is released an updated software driver (1.0.5 to be precise) which is compatible with the 64-bit OS. You just need to log in to the Pantone site and download the newest software.
