What's going on here?
Are you using any Microsoft products that automatically launch on start-up?
I have noticed on my PB that if I launch a MS app my custom LCD profile gets
swapped with a generic *Color LCD* profile. I have only noticed this on my
PB as I would NEVER put any MS products on my graphics machines. <g> Not
sure if this is the answer but at least it is a start.
