CS4 color management not working

Running under WinXP, 4GB RAM, nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with latest drivers:
The image display in CS4 is acting as if it were not color-aware.
Example: I open a file in which is in the ProPhoto RGB color space (and has that profile embedded) and the colors are not displayed correctly (muted and low contrast) -- the same appearance as opening such a file in a non-ICC-aware app like a browser.
Soft-proofing to sRGB does not change the appearance: colors are still wrong.
Converting to sRGB does not change the appearance while still in the dialog box -- even with Preview toggled on.
But upon executing the conversion to sRGB, the colors then appear correct -- again, as would be expected from a non-ICC-aware app.
CS3 running on the same system does not have this problem.

to Chris Cox:
>"Tony - then you'll need to contact NVidia and ask them to fix the driver.."
I'll be happy to do so -- but to be effective in getting nVIDIA to accept responsibility for this problem, may I ask where you believe nVIDIA has done something which needs fixing?
a) Is there a relevant industry standard to which you believe nVIDIA is failing to comply?
b) Is there some specification published by nVIDIA to which you believe nVIDIA is failing to comply?
c) Is there any documentation published by Adobe (e.g., design guidelines for graphics cards manufacturers to assist them in making Photoshop-compatible products) to which you believe nVIDIA is failing to comply?
d) Are there specific generally-accepted good software engineering practices to which you believe nVIDIA is failing to comply?
>"As for your display color management: we haven't seen that. That sounds a lot like your display profile is wrong, but I'm not sure why it differs from CS3. Could you check your color settings in Photoshop and for the display again?"
These look right to me. Are there any specific settings you'd like me to report?

Bridge CS4 color management only works with GPU active

When I turn hardware acceleration off (by selecting software rendering in Bridge advanced preferences) Bridge color management disappears and on my wide gamut display I get cartoon color thumbnails indicating that CM isn't working. With GPU rendering on and Bridge restarted, CM works as it should.
It seems that Photoshop requires hardware acceleration with the "color compensation" option checked under the Performance/Enable OpenGL Drawing/Advanced settings preference.
Is color management now only functional with OpenGL acceleration enabled? I can find no help documentation for the advanced OpenGL Drawing settings. What a huge can of hardware worms this is turning out to be.

I wouldn't think that Bridge needed the GPU for CM, yet bypassing the GPU turns off CM in this installation.
I'm still confused about what you indicate in the Photoshop CS4 thread on OpenGL.
Chris Cox, "A few questions about OpenGl acceleration" #14, 11 Nov 2008 7:31 pm
I interpret your comment as suggesting that disabling color compensation in the PS CS4 GPU debugging features should disable CM in Photoshop, but it doesn't, it just makes it unreliable in displaying images post profile conversion in my tests. I'm probably missing some nuance here.

PP CS4 color key not working

I have a very basic use case. I have done a simple 1 min screen capture video showing a software product demonstration. I have set the background to cyan for easy key out.
However when importing to PP and adding a color key to cyan, Preview shows the color being removed. But after rendering the sequence out. The final video show a cyan background with no key color effect.... I have tried adjusing the options on the color key and different video output formats and options. But each time the color key does not seem to be reflected in the final render. like I siad preview window is correct, but after media encoder renders color key seems to habe been turned off.
if I switch to chroma key, it work correclty. But I should not have to, since it is a solid color. and should be very accurate to key out using color key.
And/also if I import the sequence (with color key) into AE... it render our correctly. The exact same thing. Renders inccorrectly from PP, corrrectly from AE, no changes etc..
I am assumeing there must be some setting somewhere I am not paying attention to. I do not know AE well enough to rely on that to get my work done.

Color Management Not Working Correctly with 2 Displays

At work I am using two calibrated monitors connected to a Mac Pro. One of the monitors is a hardware calibrated wide-gamut NEC Spectraview, the other one is a software calibrated Apple Cinema Display.
It seems like Adobe products only ever display correct colors for the one monitor that happens to be the main monitor. When “Displays have separate Spaces” is off in the system preferences, it is the monitor that has the menu bar. When that setting is on, it is the monitor that was active while the application launched.
The main monitor always seems to display proper colors, while the secondary monitor shows exaggerated colors. It seems to me, like the applications only ever read the profile for the main monitor.
I have noticed this behavior with Bridge and After Effects. I am not entirely sure about Photoshop, since I only ever use it on the wide gamut monitor, but it seems like it does NOT have the issue. I do not use any other Adobe applications.
I had noticed this behavior back in Snow Leopard while using CS5 and CS6, but I never said anything, because I was using an outdated system. I was now moved to a new Mac with the most current version of Mavericks and the most current Creative Cloud versions of these apps and it seems like the issue remains.

Password Manager not working with any internet browsers

I have Thinkvantage password manager installed (v. 3.20.0311.00) on my Thinkpad X201. I am running Windows 7 professional, 64 bit. Password Manager works for all programs except IE8 or Mozilla Firefox (eg. works for Outlook, works for iTunes, etc.). When browsing, the program simply never pops up. It worked previously, and I still have many saved website login details, but it never logs in for me any more and new sites do not activate the program.
I have made sure that the add-on is enabled and I have checked the box next to "enable 3rd party browser extensions" in the advanced tab of internet options. I have also tried resetting internet explorer settings. As mentioned above, this in not only a problem with IE8; it also occurs with Firefox.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Same problem here. I just recieved mine (Win 7 pro 64 bit, X201 Multitouch) last week and password manager not working at all in ANY web browser. It recorded my .net password just fine, but i can't get it to work in IE8. Who pays this kind of money for something that doesnt work?

After the updating firefox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explan why?

After the updating fire fox 5.0 the internet download manager not working (not compatible) can you explain why?

Add-on developers need to keep up with new versions of Firefox as they are released and update their product. Have you checked with IDM to see if they have an update for you to install? Or ask them when they are going to have an update ready for 5.0.
Another thing you could do is to install FlashGot. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashgot/ <br />

The developer of Flashgot, Giorgio Maone, keeps his extensions compatible with versions of Firefox that are still in development - future release versions.

W7 64 BIT Password Manager not working

Using CSS 8.3. Can use fingerprint to log into W7. But the Password Manager feature will no longer work.
Known issue?
I'm also dual booting with Vista 32 bit. In Vista it works fine. Could the problem be one BIOS chip since its hardware connected (I think) but 2 OS'?

This is not HP's fault - this change was caused by Google.
