PC: Vista 64bit - Problem selecting RGB in Setup/ICM

Dear List,

In Flexcolor: File/Setup/ICM/RGB, I only see the following choices: None,
Default:None and sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

I went to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, which is where I would
expect to find, for example, Adobe RGB 1998, Pro Photo RGB etc..etc.. and
they weren't there.

Turns out that Vista 64bit puts these drivers in
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\SPOOL\DRIVERS\COLOR.

So, I copied the few I needed (right click, copy, paste) and put them in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, because I am assuming that this is
where Flexcolor looks for them. Indeed, that is what Hasselblad's help
service seemed to indicate too.

However, having done this, I still only have the three choices list above.

There is no facility to make FC browse to a folder containing Adobe 1998.
So, how can I 'make' it see this driver?

A ten marker, if ever there was one! ;-)

Thanks.

Denis

ps: In the Setup/ICM window, there is a yellow flag that says, "To convert using ICM you must select a RGB profile." Well, I would if I could! ;-)

pps. Looks like someone is having a similar problem to me. http://www.hasselbladdigitalforum.com/index.php/topic,148.0.html
