  • Color management issue with DPScan (Windows 11, alas)

    From Bruce Goatly@3:633/280.2 to All on Saturday, August 23, 2025 23:24:08
    Apologies if this the wrong group for this... I've been away from
    newsgroups for a while.

    I'm sure I've had to deal with this issue before, but it's cropped up again
    on my Windows 11 PC after a rebuild (bah!).

    Every time I try to load a JPEG into DPScan (v. 1.24, 8 Jan 2007) I come up with the error "the specified color management module is invalid.
    (SelectCMM) (2010)". Obviously I can clear it nut it's an irritation I
    didn't have before. Can anyone let me have the magic incantation, please?

    TIA.

    I rarely use Windows, have you looked at this site, there are libraries
    that may have disappeared from your OS.

    If you go to http://www.triffid.co.uk/dstuff/dpsconfig.jpg there's an
    image of my DPS settings that work okay.

    That's much appreciated, Dave. Sadly, applying the settings doesn't seem to solve the problem - I suspect it's something buried in Windows
    configuration that's been mangled. Oh well. As I said, it's an irritation
    but I can live with it.

    Thanks also to Jean-Michel; unfortunately I couldn't find anything there to help, but it was worth a look.

    It's great to see the newsgroups still active and constructive after all
    this time!

    B.

    It's a bit of a weird one this. But I've been having a play. It appears to
    be something do with Windows 11 being 64 bit only.

    If you go here :

    https://www.davidpilling.com/cd/software.html

    Below the latest DPScan is a DPScan64 which it says is for XP-64 Bit.

    I've just downloaded that and tried it on Windows 11 and seems to work
    fine no errors, It does appear to be a slightly earlier version (v1.23)
    and I haven't tested it extensively. But seems ok.

    Cheers
