Adobe Gamma unable to load new monitor default profile

I XP Pro with Photoshop7.0. With a Pantovision Spyder I calibrated on a laptop DELL LCD monitor a profile. I tried to load it into the Adobe Gamma ...message reads The selected profile is not a legal RGB display profile. My understanding from the on-line search base is I should be able to do this. It will allow me to change the srgb profile but not give it a new name. I don't want to lose the srbg profile...in fact when I realized I had saved an adjusted srgb profile and it substituted for the original profile. I reinstalled my Photoshop 6.0 and upgraded 7.0. I still don't know if this reverted to the originally installed srgb profile. Has anyone else had these problems? What do I do to get the Adobe Gamma to accept my new profile? and how do I insure that my srgb profile is the originally installed profile?

Grace,

There's no need to use Adobe Gamma when you have a third-party calibration package installed. I'm using a ColorVision Spyder too (the software is OptiCAL in my case).

OptiCAL puts a shortcut to 'OptiCAL Startup' in my Startup folder and it loads the profile made with OptiCAL into the LUT of the graphic card during startup of Windows.

See: <http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/321608.html> and read the section 'Adobe Gamma and Third-Party Monitor Calibration Utilities'.
