Assign color profiles for multi-monitors (dual) with P750?

I have a Matrox Millenium P750 multi-monitor graphics card and a
ColorVision monitor Spyder with PhotoCal. I am using 2 CRT's in
independent mode.

I tried to assign profiles generated with the Spyder (one for each
monitor) by going to Windows (2000 Pro) Display Properties, Settings,
Advanced, Color Management to specify a profile filename. This works
fine for the secondary display.

But, when I try it for the primary, and hit the Assign button, I get
an error message from "Microsoft Color Management System" stating, "An
error occurred while associating <profile.icm>. This is not a valid
color profile." The same .icm file works properly elsewhere.

The only thing I can find in Matrox software is a calibration 'by
eyeball' similar to Adobe Gamma, which of course does not use the
colorometer.

Please advise!

Not sure if you got this sorted out, but I had similar problems.

P750, Win2K, Pantone Spyder & OptiCal

What I had to do, was to go into the "Device Manager" and re-install
the drivers for both monitors. After that, I just used the Spyder to
re-calibrate and then use the new profiles for each monitor.
