I am no expert. I saw this thread developed on another forum. The
conclusion is that Windows in its current iteration does not support
individually calibrated monitors i.e. more than one monitor profile.
It cannot use 2 different profiles at one time, just one or the other
which might explain what you are describing.
This is a bit oversimplified. With two videocards, or with one PCIexpress card, its possible to get descreet monitor calibration/profiling. With a Mac its possible with most any card(s). Its just that Windows has a problem recognizing one card as two devices, which is fixed at the other end (the videocard end) by PCIexpress, which is a newer format, since its broken in Windows 2K and XP... stay tuned to see if they got it right in Vista...
