If you double click on the Acquire / Profile / Calibrate application and it launches  but then immediately quits without notification then this is caused by Data Execution Prevention (DEP) stopping the application from running. This normally only applies to Microsoft Server versions of the operating system.

 

To disable DEP for the application follow these steps:

Open Control Panels folder

Double click on the System Control Panel
