I'm having some trouble with CS6 and my monitor profile. I'm not sure exactly when this started, but it may have been right after installing a video card for the first time, if that makes a difference. Using Win7 Pro, the video card is a Geforce GT640, and monitor is Dell 2007FP.
I don't understand why it's trying to find "LCD color management and conversion" since that is not my default monitor profile. Just to be sure, I recalibrated, and the new profile is set as default:
I can't figure out why the correct profile is set in the Windows color management settings, but Photoshop is looking for something else. I tried Googling it, but couldn't find a solution. Anyone know what is going on?
I was just making sure that you weren't selecting the monitor profile as a working space. Many times people erroneously assume the profile is the working space. Although the monitor profile appears in the drop-down list of working spaces, its presence is for informational purposes only so that the user knows he/she is using a profiled monitor.
You said you thought the problems started with a new video card; are you running the latest drivers from Nvidia (not the card manufacturer)?
Just in case you don't have the monitor profile correctly setup in Windows (there's more to it than the screen you showed), follow the directions in the link below.
Check the profile for Monitor #2, even if you don't have a second monitor connected. Whatever it is set to, change it to something else (like the same custom profile you are using for monitor #1).

I'm not sure if I'm using the latest drivers from Nvidia, so I just downloaded them and will install them.

We have a winner! That was the problem. I've never calibrated my second monitor, and never set a profile for it. Never had a problem. I can only assume it has something to do with adding the video card (previously using integrated graphics on the mobo). When I checked to see what profile was set, it was the one that Photoshop was griping about. I changed it to something else, and all is good now.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to post suggestions.
