To install the program in windows 7 32bit no problem. But in the 64bit version it can´t find my device. No digital signification. How to solve the problem?

Do not use the disc that came with it. Go to the website and download the updated software. I just did that for my Vista 64 bit and it works fine now.

Latest software for spyder2pro, 2.3.5 from februari 2007 for vista 64. That´s what I´m trying. Even run as for Vista and as admin. I can choose what profile I want, but I can´t calibrate. At the moment I using two OS, Vista 64 and Windows7 64. I have just picked the C:WindowsSystem32sp​ooldriverscolorspyd​er2express.icm from vista and replaced it in Windows7. But I want to calibrate.

I asked Colorvision today and they replayed this:
'Dear Peter,
thank you for submitting a ticket and your faith in Datacolor products.
Windows 7 is a beta version and has not been finally released. There are many known issues with this. Also Microsoft has not yet fully released the internal specifications to the developers.
Microsoft self call this 'not for production use'.
You can be sure, that we will provide a solution to this problem once the final version of Windows 7 will be released.
Best regards,

I think I will survive untill the release.

You may be able to force it to install the Vista 64-bit driver.
There's a thread on FM regarding installing drivers for Windows 7

Good luck.

Didn´t work. Not properly installed windows says...

Tagging along on this thread.
I also have a Spyder 2 that I can't install in WIndows 7.
I've tried the vista signed 64 bit install from colorvision's website and it didn't work.
I can't use the vista solution linked above because I don't have vista 32 or 64.
I've also tried the new F8 and go into 'Allow non signed driver' mode and that didn't work either. Now I see the Colorvision reply above and I'm sad.

Update: I found on another forum that users of Win7 can install spyderexpress 2.3.6 and it will work on your system. Running 2.3.5, I was stuck detecting a sensor and had problems with the driver. But version 2.3.6 can be downloaded using the link below, or email me for a copy *(I'm burning it to disc to ensure I don't run across this problem again).

Spyder 2 will not install in a 64bit OS due to the digital signature issue (they never fixed it), but express will work. Spyder3 will work just fine as well.
There is a way to get spyder2 to install, but you need to restart in safe mode and do a debug install.

Urgh! Sorry to bump an old thread but I finally decided to build a new PC and make the jump to windows 7. So far this is the only piece of hardware I own thats giving me grief! But its an important one! So only Spyder2express 2.3.6 will run on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit? So the Pro version I spent money on is useless now? Good customer support DataColor! Now I have to buy a Spyder3?

I have run in the past Spyder 2 Express, and am currently running Spyder 2 Pro v2.3.5 on Windows 7 64bit.

Technology marches on...
A no cost solution is to use your existing Spyder2 puck with free open source calibration software.
A temporary solution is download and use the trial version of ColorEyes Display pro software.
Best solution is buy a brand new calibration kit. While colorimeters last a long time, they do age and you may need a new one anyway. And no need to restrict yourself to DataColor/Spyder products.

Hi everyone. I realize this post may be a bit dated but I am looking to get a cheap version of Spyder2pro used for my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I was worried that it would not work on the 64 bit. Seeing others say it works is great but what software do I need to update to before installing? It looks like the Datacolor 64 bit download is from 2008? Is there another download I am not aware of? Any links or tips to where I can download the correct software on this issue would be EXCELLENT! Thanks all. Cheers

I've seen some conflicting information on this so wanted to ask the group if anyone uses it and if so, what problems they may have had. I am looking to get a used one on the cheap for simple calibration but have read via Google that it does not support 64 bit but then again per Datacolor's website there is some software that says it supports 64 bit but does not mention Windows 7. Just looking for some actual users of the software and advice. Thanks a ton!!

I'm using a Spyder2 Pro with Win7 Pro x64.
The s/w version I have installed is 2.3.5 according to the file name.

Did you download that software from the data color website? That is the one I saw that mentioned 64 bit but made no reference to windows 7. So you've not had any problems with spyder2pro then? No calibration or driver issues? It creates and saves the right profiles and uses them consistently? Do you have a glossy or non glossy screen?

If it's the software on their site, if it's for Windows, and it specifies 64-bit, then it makes sense that it's for Win7x64...Vista has been 'old in the tooth' since Win7x64 came out!
The only problem I'd forsee is if you have a wide-gamut monitor -- I believe the older calibration setups aren't made for those monitors, but I could be mistaken there.

Tonylong- how do I know if I have a wide gamut monitor? I read about that but have no idea. My monitors are a few years old circa 2007-2008.

Well, I'm not one of the 'experts' here when it comes to display technology (or anything else, for that matter), I know there is at least one site that lists monitors and their display types, but I don't recall what the site is -- maybe someone 'in the know' can chime in...
In the meantime, I did a quick search for 'wide gamut monitor' and there are plenty of 'hits':

One site has a pretty good article discussing things:
http://www.imagescienc​e.com.au …Using+Wide+Gamu​t+Monitors

Must have, since the CDs that I have are all v1.x software and pre-date any x64 operating system (except possibly XP x64, but that wasn't very popular).

I've not had any problems with profiles being saved or applied except when using a KVM switch. I think the switch has a generic monitor id that it passes to any port that isn't active at the moment.
The monitor I have is an older Dell model (2001 or 2007 iirc), the screen is definitely more matte/textured than glossy.

I had a lot of problem with spyder 2 and Windows 7 64. The solution was to delete these files http://dispcalgui.hoec​h.net/#issue-win-intel-cal-reset

I have the Spyder2 express and when I upgraded to a new windows 7 pc just over a month ago I was reading that it wouldn't work. I contacted Data color but they never responded. I downloded the 64bit version of the software for vista and it works fine on my pc.
