More Information

After purchasing ne 225BW Samsung, I installed Magic Tune 3.6 that came with it, but it said that "my system does not support Magic Tune".
Then I downloaded new MT, especially for Vista 32 bit, installed and got the same error...
Also, when I press "auto" butoon on monitor, it says "auto adjustment not available"...
?!?!
Anyone?

Almost correct. Uninstall Vista and re-install XP SP-2. Haven't you read this thread? Welcome to the nightmare! (You're gonna load everything from safe-mode??? 8O )

I would suggest you try vista yourself before you go about spouting sh!t off that you have no idea about.

I have vista since day one and I'm extremly satisfied....one of the rare lucky ones to who everything works. Except TV tuner... :D

I tried installing in safe mode yesterday but didn't pull trough because it installs Microsoft C++ library and that cannot be installed in SF.
Any other suggestions?
I REALLY need to adjust my brightness/contrast/collors properly...
Menu on monitor itself just isn't good enough...

If everything works, there is no exception.

I have an 8800GTS and I thought I had it working. I'll try it again later and get back with you.

Edit: Ok I tried it. I had downloaded it from the site cause the disc version was not supported by Vista. I tried to install it twice. The first time it asked if I wanted to "modify, repair or uninstall, so it must have been installed already, did a reboot no shortcut no program. Did it again, let me install this time reboot still no action. Could be one of the start up programs that the message says it is blocking. Dont need it anyway, monitor looks great (204B)

I have had the same problem but thats ok coz I dont really need it. The problem I have now is that I cannot uninstall it and I get the anoying and useless popup every time I boot up. No uninstall in start menu and nothing in the program options in controll panel.

And look at: http://quickgamma.de/indexen.html

QuickGamma is old, but does work on Vista (I have V64), and can be used to adjust and calibrate color. Though in the interests of only adjusting color from ONE place, I displayed the test screens, set Brightness (WHY are monitors always set so stupidly bright from the factory???), and used my nVidia control panel to make a some small R/G/B adjustments. Once the monitor was no longer so mind-numbingly and obnoxiously bright, I only needed to change the actual colors a few %. Looks great!



{EDIT} Never mind... Just noticed the original post is almost a year old...

The more I read the forums, the more I feel that a number of individuals would be well served by skipping their next GPU purchase in favor of a little "Stress relief" from the local 'Working Girls'"

V64 and MagicTune are a right pain.

Just setting up my new Vista machine, got a 226BW, followed the link in the paperwork (same as Angelboy posted) and get that damned "system does not support MagicTune" message.

It's quite possibly a compatability issue with some of the other stuff I'm installing (security apps), etc, but it's a minefield.

And guess what, half the fuctions on the awkward buttons on the bottom of the screen itself have given up now too. Hmph.

Maybe I'll try installing it in safe mode - if I can work out how to uninstall it first. It doens't show up in the Windows 'Uninstall or Change Progam' list or in my CCleaner uninstall tool. Double hmph.
