The Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet adds a new 'Color' item to the Windows control panel, providing a single place to view and edit color management settings in Windows XP. Using it, you can install and uninstall color profiles, change color profile associations for displays, printers and scanners, view detailed properties for color profiles (including a 3D rendering of the color space gamut), and rename color profiles, keeping the filenames and "internal" names consistent.

This tool also enables Windows to automatically adjust the gamut curve of the display when a color profile containing gamut table information is set as the default profile for the display. Typically, such profiles are created by custom monitor calibration tools, such as those available from ColorVision, GretagMacbeth, and X-Rite

We want to know what you think about the lineup for the Xbox360. Do you think that games will be rushed? Are you buying the system on launch day or waiting for some of the big games to be released?

I'm with you, I'm gonna do the same

I never use color profiles, so no need for this here.

I would need this if my driver supported it (I mean, the driver I'm using now, because I have another driver that works but Age of Empires 2 wont load, apparently DirectShow doesnt support that driver. For now I'm keeping AOE ).
But, anyone has a direct link? I want to try to fix a problem I'm having with directshow videos, they are too bright (for now I have to use GDI with VLC, and it is just too damn slow), and I dont validate .
#3.1 bryonhowley on 29 Oct 2005 - 22:42
Don't validate do not use the software simple as that. If you don't validate becouse you use a pirete copy of XP then go buy the ****ing software.

Or wait until they put this on WU/MU.

Err... they wont. It is not a security update.

And bryonhowley, I will buy it if you give me the money. In my country a new Windows XP costs R$1500 or more, I can have one on the streets for about 10 or less, or for free from the internet. And then they ask why people use Linux (and they get the goverment fed up when they want to make their own Linu!

you could get a legit copy in other ways, not that youd have ever tried.

If it was $11 for a copy people would still buy the $10 pirate ones. What a dud arguement, it comes with most PC's and if you have an older copy of windowes and cant afford to update then dont, or do what you suggested and use linux. A pirate is still a pirate no matter what their (poor) excuse is.

Sorry, folks. Piracy indeed is a crime, but here are some facts for you reflect on:

- More than 80% of PCs sold here doesn't come with a legit Windows copy, because they're sold under the gray market -- importing anything under legal taxes raises the costs to double at least.

- A legal copy of Windows costs at leasts 4 times the base salary of our country. An standard Office copy costs at least 8 times.

- 90% of our country has an montlhy income below that base salary - I mean, *familliar* income.

- Our government and corporations do not support the use of anything but the Windows platform, making it impossible for linux to be faced as an alternative -- despite it's problems as a competitive desktop platform, as we all know. Although we have a strong Linux user base, to use it as an desktop OS replacement is asking to be left on the margins of digital society.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Piracy here is preent in more than 98% of the home user's desktops. So, sorry, but it's not that simple. Lots of software companies still practice the same equivalent prices they do on richer countries. That's an absurd.

Games, however, are doing fine. They've lowered the prices to make them compatible with our reality -- they're way cheaper than in US. They aren't that cheap yet, but that's an hell of an advance. No wonder they're probably the best software sellers to regular home users.
