I definitely have the Spyder profile loader uninstalled.
I have the profile installed under 'Color
Management'-->Devices-->Profiles.  This was done by dispcalGUI
automatically.  I've also now added it to 'Color
Management'-->Advanced-->'Change system defaults'.  I'm noticing that
on wake, the correct profile is active for about 1 second after I log
in, but then something is changing the profile.

Florian:  Kudos on the task scheduler approach ... I see the event you
are talking about in event viewer and was able to setup a task.
However, because of the 1 second delay I mentioned, there seems to be
a race condition going on and the displayGUI profile loader is running
before the other app (or Win7) that is changing the profile.

Both the laptops I have are doing this and both are using Intel
Embedded Graphics.  I'm fairly sure the color settings that are being
applied are the settings that the Intel Graphics and Media Control
Panel is using, so I'm thinking this may be my conflicting culprit ...
now I just need to figure out how to stop it.

Thanks,
Eric
