Make sure you have disabled the Adobe Gamma control panel and Apple's
default calibrator. You *do not* need the Optical start-up app to load the
profile because you have selected the profile in the Monitor control panel
(loads the VCLUTs in the video card - calibration tables). Remove the
start-up app from the Start-up folder nested in the system folder. Do not
uncheck the "on" box in the Optical app.
