This is an FYI for others trying to solve the problem I’ve been pulling my hair out over! I was receiving a warning on startup of Ps CS3 "The monitor profile ‘LCD color management and conversion’ appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software". This was after using my EyeOne to calibrate my monitor. I’ve seen variations of this problem on various forums and websites, but none helped my particular problem.

FINALLY, it occurred to me to check the default profile for my SECONDARY monitor! That one was using a stock profile that came with the monitor, but that was what was triggering the error message. Once I replaced that with the same profile as I created and was using on my primary monitor, Ps stopped displaying the warning.

I hope this helps someone else! If I recall from months ago when I researched and bought my colorimeter, my model will only calibrate one monitor, so I can’t use it to create a unique profile for the second monitor.
