Re: [datacolor_group] Spyder 3 Express crashes on XP with ATI VIDEO CARD ?

2010-01-05 by Cdtobie

You can start by being sure that no screensaver or screendimmer  
functions are kicking in at that point. Next, check that all ATI  
startup items or utilities are disabled. If you continue to have  
issues after that, you'll want to start a support ticket with as much  
info as possible at DataColor.com
