It doesn't work that way. All existing videocard data is removed when OptiCAL runs, and a new profile unrelated to the old one is built. So if you get a similar problem again it either means you failed to create a newer profile so the older on is still being used, or you are using bad settings to build the new profile again. Choose the canned profile for your monitor in the Displays System Prefs, and the previous profile will be deselected and your screen out from under your bad calibration. Usually a bad calibration occurs when the Spyder is removed from the screen prematurely, or the energy saver comes on in the middle of calibration.
