ColorSync profiles won't transfer from OS 9

In OS 9, I used a ColorSync profile that made my screen look wonderful, but it won't work in OS X. It doesn't show up as a choice in the Monitor control panel as a display profile (in the Color tab). I've tried calibrating my monitor, but I can't get results that are as good as they were with this profile. If anyone could help me get this to work, I'd really appreciate it.

[Later that same day...] Well, I figured out my problem. Apparently, over the months that I've had the profile, it was corrupted through many moves and copies. So I just downloaded it again from xlr8yourmac, and it worked.

So if you're having trouble moving a ColorSync profile from OS 9 to OS X, make sure your profile hasn't become corrupted somehow; start with a fresh copy if you can.
