I have new Asus nVidia 8500GT video card, with a 19" Samsung LCD on the DVI port, and a 40" Samsung LCD TV on the VGA port. I replaced a 6500GT because the fan burned out, it was working well. I have an Monaco Optix Standard color standard calibration system, and i've calibrated both monitors.

The problem is I can't get them to use their own profile. I go into Windows XP display control panel, right click on the primary monitor, choose color, select the correct profile, and choose set as default. I ok out then do the same, right clicking on the 2 representing the TV, and set it to use its profile. It seems that windows will only recognise one default, if I go back into #1 it's set to use the LCD TV profile.

Anyone know how to get XP to use two color profiles?
