Removing Adobe Gamma

I have just installed a Spyder 3 Pro on my PC and couldnt find any uninstall for Adobe Gamma. The PC is running XP Pro (32 bit SP3) and I have CS4 and CS2 installed.
To remove Adobe Gamma I took the following steps after I had installed the Spyder software but before calibrating:
1. Removed the shortcuts to Adobe Gamma and Adobe Gamma Loader from the start-up folder.
2. Removed Adobe Gamma Loader.exe and Adobe Gamma.cpl from the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration.
There didnt appear to be any remove feature in the control panel, but the Gamma control panel now doesnt appear in the control panel and the PC reboots without any errors.
Was this the correct procedure or was there a better way to do it?

Thanks I wasnt sure if there was anything to clean out in the registry, but as it all appears to be working its probably best left alone.
The calibration was close to what I had achieved with Adobe Gamma, but a little less saturated. This probably explains why prints usually came out less saturated than I was expecting the grey scale calibration was much better than I had achieved by eye.

  • Removing Adobe Gamma on an eMac computer

    I have a Spyder2express and an eMac computer.
    I have read that before I profile my monitor using any monitor calibrator, I must first remove Adobe Gamma alias from start up folder. That this file must be deleted before using the monitor profiling system. That if I don't remove Adobe Gamma, there maybe problems creating a satisfactory profile with the Spyder2express.
    The questions I have are:
    1 I am unable to find the Adobe Gamma alias folder?
    2. Could somebody walk me though the steps to find and delete the Adobe Gamma alias folder?
    thanks
    Sue

    Unless you have an ancient machine running a prehistoric version of the OS and of Photoshop, there is no Adobe Gamma on your machine. The Mac version was discontinued eons ago.

  • How to disable Adobe Gamma in Windows 7?

    I have a new PC running Windows 7 and a new monitor. I want to color-calibrate the monitor using Spyder3, as I've done in the past with Windows XP. I cannot, however, locate Adobe Gamma in the msconfig "Startup" folder on Windows 7 to de-activate it. Has it been eliminated? Can I run the calibration program without taking this step? Many thanks in advance.

    I'm loading CS5 (upgraded from CS3). It's the computer OS that I've had to remove it from before - and it doesn't appear in the Startup folder, unlike in Windows XP's system. (Or in the Control Panel, although there is a "Color Management" folder that lists color profiles I've downloaded from Epson when I downloaded my printer drivers for Windows 7).
    So I guess Windows 7 doesn't include it, and I am free to do my calibration. Adobe's tech support phone line is closed for the weekend so I am turning to you forum experts. There must be someone out there who has encountered this in setting up a new computer system and loading PS onto it. Thanks for the input from both you and John.

    This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763

  • Why do I have to remove Adobe Acrobat in order to link pdf files using Preview?

    Whenever I try to link pdfs to make a single file, Adobe Acrobat opens automatically and prevents me from linking them, instead demanding that I pay money for a subscription. Instead, I have to remove Adobe, at which point I can open Preview, and then I can link the files.
    Is there any way to link documents without having to remove and then reinstall Adobe?
    I have an iMac 10.6.8 and the latest Adobe that will install.

  • Uninstall failing at "Removing Adobe Dynamiclink Support"

    Windows XP Pro SP2.
    I'm trying to uninstall Design Premium so I can install Master collection. I'm on my second attempt after restoring the drive from an image. The unistaller is freezing (apparently) at Removing Adobe Dynamiclink Support, about 85% through the process. I did NOT check the remove preferences box.
    First time I finally used Task Manager to terminate, then restarted the process through control panel. It seemed to have finished, but left a few things behind (some Rorohiko plugin stuff and custom scripts in ID, and a Configurator custom panel in Photoshop), so I tried to install the Master collection.
    That froze, installing the Adobe Dynamiclink support, so I used Task Manager agin and restored the drive. The uninstaller is currently stuck at the same point.
    I don't think that having only SP2 is the problem (Design Premium has installed just fine on this machine and my laptop, both on SP2).
    Has anyone seen this? The clean script will probably be my next step.
    Peter

    I believe I've found the problem, in case anyone else runs across this.
    During the first attempt at installing the Master collection, the installer said processcoordinationserver.exe was running and preventing the intallation fom proceeding and should be terminated.
    With the uninstall frozen, I checked Task Manager, and the same process was running, so I took a flyer and terminated it. The uninstall completed.
    MC installer froze at the same point again, so I wnt back to Task Manager and ended the same process one more time. I'm now about half-way through with the installation, so we'll see.

  • Removing Adobe Reader

    I am using a PC with XP sp3.
    I don't seem to be able to remove Adobe Reader 10.0.1 from my hard drive. When I try to use"MS's add/remove programs" to remove Reader, the msg I get is "feature is on a resource that is unavailable".  When I go to the actual file under Programs and try to put the Adobe file folder into the trash, the msg I get is "Cannot delete Identity-H".  (I can't find that file as a separate file in MS search.) What do I do?
    I want to start over with a reinstall of v10.1.0 because I keep getting an "updating Adobe Reader" message every few days, and I sense that this too often.  Can my unremovable version of Adobe Reader have been compromised with a key logger or some virus that is sending out some of my data, rather than actually updating my installed version, as often as every few days?

    Your Reader installation may be corrupted; use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459) to remove the corrupted installation.

  • Qosmio G30: Monitor Phosphors needed to configure Adobe Gamma

    I am calibrating my monitor with Adobe Gamma and need to know what Phosphors it uses. The options are:
    HDTV (CCIR 709)
    EBU/ITU
    NTSC (1953)
    P22-EBU
    SMPTE-C (CCIR 601-1)
    Trinitron
    Custom...
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Please correct me someone, but TFT monitors don't use phosphors at all :) (unless they mean something else by this calibration)
    Their technology is based on Thin Film Transistors rather than the old classic way of having electrons created in a tube shoot towards the phosphor-front on the monitor.
    Only Plasma screens and CRT monitors would need such adjustment.
    Btw, using a screen-saver on TFT screens is unnecessary as this technology does not BURN IN a picture like on phosphor based screen. Only the Backlight gets weak which means it's better to "Power off" your monitor rather than make a windows logo pop up from one corner to the other every couple of seconds.
    My 2 cents to this, sorry if I was of no help

  • Can I remove Adobe 9 after I installed 11.2?

    Can I remove Adobe Reader 9 after I installed XI?

    You shouldn't have two different versions installed anyway - so yes. You may find it best to uninstall both, then put Reader XI back.

  • I can not remove Adobe reader form my computer. In my Add or Remove Programs file it says....

    that I can not remove the program. My computer got stuck on it and I had to do the end program option because it would not close out. I know that Adobe has been on my computer ever since I can remember. I honestly don't know what it is (Adobe Reader) and am very frustrated because I don't know weather getting rid of it (Adobe Reader) will cause problems on this computer or not. Please help cause I don't know what to do....I need it to opperate as it did before and with out upgrading it (free) or I can't use it and need to remove it. Sincerely me

    Hi 8ublessed,
    I will agree with Test Screen Name, there is very less information to figure out the root cause of the issue you are facing. If you want to remove Adobe Reader, please use the cleaner tool - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

    I want to remove Adobe Updater from the menu bar!

    Heyyo6789 depending upon the Adobe Creative software title installed the update mechanism in the menu bar may still be needed. 
    Thank you for the feedback.  This behavior will likely be changed in a future version of the Creative Cloud Desktop applications.  I would recommend referencing Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud app for desktop | Release Notes which is updated with features which have been added to the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
