Well, it is a good days work when you are pretty sure it is over. It appears that the key was updated device drivers. Along the way, I made use of Windows Color applet, which worked very well; taking advice I got from somewhere that appeared reliable, I load the LUTs with it at boot time. Both displays seem to act as they should using the Spyder. The results are display consistency (in particular in white point luminance in candela/meter squared and rough color temperature), with differences attributable to the displays themselves; the HP has deeper blacks than the Dell, and smoother color and shading transitions. SpyderPRO2.2 worked as advertised. Thanks for your help.
