Glad to help!
As you are a very good instructor, maybe you can create a video showing how to proper use this life saver tool, I find it much better than the other solutions for monitors without hardware programmable LUT.
Ahhh, here a tuto to use Argyll for creating printer profiles http://www.lassini.com/blog/?s=argyll&search=Search

I'm afraid I am not that technical, but there some interesting points.

Well, I am even less than you, but if I have anything to contribute feel free contact me.

I just might take you up on that offer.

Thank you for posting that.  I have had an issue recently when I saved for web.  I just took a look at view/proof colors and somehow it got set to CMYK.  Haven't tried it yet but I'll bet that was my problem.

Hey, it happens. Hehe. BTW. In the document window where you have your name displayed and things like RGB/8* and things like that. When you soft proof it should also display the name of the profile that you are using for soft proofing that is how you can see if you are in the soft proof mode or note.

Please help. I recently got the Spyder 4 and downloaded the Argyll and dispcalGUI. Everything looks to be installed properly but the GUI doesn't see the instrument.

What am I doing wrong?

What operating system? if 64 bit Windows 8 see this

For Windows 7 (and possibly 8) you need to run as an administrator. See this http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/2983567

Also, it is helpful to start a new topic when the question is not directly related to the existing topic, especially one that has been dead almost two years.

Thank you. you're right. I complain about the same thing. I got this fixed. The problem was the drives didn't actually install I had to run the install manually. All is well now.
