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. If a color profile has this information, it is shown with an asterisk (*) in the user interface.

    Refuses to install even though I have SP2, .NET 1.1, and .NET 2.0 installed. Keeps giving me the error message "an error occurred while downloading the file http://www.installengine...t03/dotnetfx/dotnet.exe

    That particular computer never goes online, hence the error. MS doesn't warn you anywhere in the release notes that this app requires a live internet connection. Boo!

    I don't know much about color profiles, so I can't make much use of this myself. But it looks full-featured enough for dealing with them.

    (I also like the 3d view thing >.>)

    install SP2 then.... that's not a reason to rate it 1 star. Do you rate a linux app 1 star because you can't run it on windows? same thing.
