(1) What's your OS? (2) What happens as the computer boots? Sometime (wthin seconds) you should see the monitor change slightly. If you had a gray wedge displayed on your desktop, you'd see a tonal shift when the display's LUT is modified by the Photocal startup module. (3) Are you sure the Radeon's software is not also trying to do something similar? (4) What software are you using when the images show the yellow/green cast? (5) What do you mean "Nikon profile"? ... and how is this associated with the monitor's profile? (6) I'd be surprised if the Radeon card is not compatible ... it would be extremely rare its driver didn't allow access to the display LUT. Do not rule out USB being a possibility. I had to install a PCI-USB port card before my spyder/photocal worked correctly. hth & cheerios ... shAf :o) Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland www.micro-investigations.com (in progress) =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
