Spyder3 Elite monitor calibration

[disgo55]

Hi. Just bought my self the Spyder3 Elite the other day using v4.0.2 software. My specks are win7x32 photo-shop cs5/Lightroom 3.3. + two Sam-sung monitors 226bw/225bw. Half way through calibration on my 226bw, i get this message pop up ... (Adjust brightness (Back light) until the current value is within 4% of the target.
Click update to take a new reading after adjustment, when done click continue. This is were i get stuck, as of what to do. Can someone, Please help me out. Thanks

so did you adjust the brightness and rerun the calibration and every time the error comes up?

They have excellent response time on their technical/user emails. I think I had my question answered in less than 24 hrs.

Its not an error,I think its part of the process. My question was,that i get stuck at this point. How to Adjust brightness (Back light) until the current value is within 4% of the target. Thanks

(sorry for not responding sooner...)
Your monitor should have at minimum a brightness and contrast control - the adjustment they are calling for is done through the user setting on your monitor.

if thats not it, i'd contact their tech assistance because I am not sure what else it could be...controls on my monitor where the only adjustments I had to make during calibration - after that the program and spyder did everything...

Monitor brightness is exactly it, check monitor manual if brightness control not obvious
