Samsung MagicTune incompatibilty
- Thread starter Wintings
- Start date
I'm not familiar with that particular program but there is some basic controls for tuning your monitor within Win7. Go to; Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > and from here you can select the 'Adjust ClearType Text' and the 'Calibrate Display' in the left-most menu and it will allow you tune your monitor to a limited degree.

I have magic tune also. It came with my monitor. Mine says "Beta" and I have not tried it. I read (somewhere) that there are problems with it in Vista and Windows 7. I don't know the way to get it to work but would use Windows 7 tool to calibrate the monitor and maybe see if you can get an update at the Samsung site.

Thanks for the advice. I've already been to the Samsung website but the latest version of the program posted there is for Vista (32 and 64 bit). I guess I'll just have to wait for them to develop a Win7 version.

You could always try the latest Vista version if it's different than the version you have now. They say Vista stuff is compatible with Se7en. Good luck.

You might also want to check SAMSUNG learning resource - compatibility to see if your card is listed there.

Thanks. It turns out that my nVidia Geforce 9600GT card is not on the list of supported cards, so it may well be that rather than Win7 that's the problem!

Hi Guys, I am able to get the magic tune run on Windows Server 2008 R2 now, I think it should also work on Windows 7 x64 edition.
Click the shortcut to MagicTune.exe will do nothing, It just like told you that you need to restart your computer to use it.
What you need to do are: (Administrator privillege is not a must)
1. Run the MagicTuneEngine.exe in the same directory with Vista Compatibility mode set. It will told you the \Magictune.exe\MagicTune.exe does not exist, but never mind. You should be able see MagicTuneEngine.exe is already in your process list.
2. Run MagicTune.exe again with Vista Compatibility mode.
3. Enjoy.
This software is only intend to adjust the LCD monitor settings, so it has nothing to do with your video card.

Magic Tune is great, when it works. It allows you to set up the monitor, settings that are normally done with buttons on the monitor itself. There is no OS of graphics driver that can access these settings.
There are Windows 7 x64 and x32 versions here:

I have the x64 version installed in Windows 7 x64, everything works fine. It sure is better than using the buttons on the side of the monitor.

Yeah I couldn't get that to work for me so I gave up. I don't think it's really that necessary, my monitor looked great out the box.

Guys: windows 7 version of magic tune is available: www.samsung.com/us/consumer/learningresources/monitor/magetune/pop_download.html
I installed it. But I have a doubt, I yet have to do a comparison with sevens own color calibration (C:\Windows\System32\dccw.exe), wich I used till yesterday. It's quite good.
