Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean or am not doing it 
correctly as my monitor still has a definite blue cast.  Here is what 
I have done:

1. Run the EIZO ColorNavigator to set the monitor to 6500K, 2.2 gamma 
brightness = 80cd/m2.  Once it has run, I save to result and then 
exit.

2. I run Spyder3Elite for 6500K, 2.2 gamma.  When it takes the 
initial measurements, it shows that the color is 6877K with a gamma 
of 2.2 and brightness of 77.8 cd/m2.  

3. I tried the tools->colorimeter under Spyder3Elite and it showed 
the color temp as 6876K.

This is the point at which confusion sets in.  I need to get the 
monitor set at 6500K.  Basically as far as I can tell, I would have 
to use the Eizo ColorNavigator to make changes to R,G,B values if I 
wanted to try to use the Spyder utility to build a profile for the 
video card.

I am running under Win XP and have disabled WinColor (the color 
control applet).  I have dual monitors off one video card.  I do know 
that I am setting/measuring the correct monitor under both software 
tools.

I know I must be missing something or doing something wrong.  Any 
help would be appreciated.
