I want to calibrate my laptop screen. I have the Spyder2Pro device to do it with.
I have a Medion Laptop (Aldi Special ;) ) which is running windows 7 64Bit. All is well with the system.

Trouble is, to run Spyder2Pro I need to have access to the RGB sliders, or to other sliders to alter the screen output. Can I find them?? No!

I'm not a complete novice with computers, and it irks me that I can't find something which I have used many times before...the only thing I do have is the screen brightness (a sun symbol) control on the keyboard. No other controls...

Anyone know where I can find them?

Cheers

I don't think these are built into the OS, to get to RGB sliders on my Win7 box I have to use the NVIDIA control panel.

Is the NVIDIA thing your screen driver? I have something called ATIRadeon which is to do with the display, but can't find anything there for sliders etc. :)

Yes there is an NVIDIA graphics card in my box - sounds like there is an ATI in yours, surprised that you can't find it, but it might be buried under the advanced options or something.

Managed to sort it, anyway. The software was updated, and then I ran it ok. Didn't actually need any sliders...the software did all the work.

So, thanks for the help, but all is now good. :)
