Checked in my control pannel and there's no color icons.
When i downloaded the version the installer was in french since i live in quebec, but my laptop's all in english, maybe there's a conflict? Gonna tweak my regional settings and try again.
edit- yep, that was the problem, regional setting was set to french canada and it downloaded a file called WGAplugininstall.exe, while in english US it downloaded Wincolor setup and i now have the icon, weird but it works.
Colors are pretty accurate, as is the brightness contrast, but i still found it didnt help with the light leakage @ the bottom so i turned down nvidia's gamma a tad down and now its a about perfect, without affecting the reference calibration image too much.
Thanks btw
