Weird!
Frank D, I nstalled both LR2.6 and ACR5.6. I am using XP SP3 on this
machine. I cannot make LR2.6 crash or misbehave with M9 files. ACR5.6 seems
to not synchronise with changes made in LR2.6 currently. That is, edits made
in LR are not appearing in the files when opened in ACR. I don't know what
is going on there as yet or whether it is related at all.
Frank F, once a camera model has been added to the program the default
profile shows as 'Adobe standard'. It automatically uses the one for that
specific camera model. If you had Raw files from say several differnt
supported camera types on your computer, the default profile shown for each
would be called the same thing 'Adobe standard' even though they are
different profiles. That is the selection does not say M9 Adobe Standard or
D700 Adobe standard but that's what it is doing.. You cannot select the
profile for a wrong model.

It is possible to install the profiles in several ways (whether custom or
standard). Installing the LR3 Beta automatically put the M9 profile in the
correct folder and it remains available even after that software is removed.
Installing LR2.6 whether or not you removed it afterwards, would similarly
make the new profiles added with that version persisent for ACR5.5 or
earlier too. Generally you should keep the point versions synchronised
though. You can also simply copy the new profiles you want to the
appropriate folder  without installing any new program versions. This
applies to custom profiles too. I'm pretty sure I had already sent you a
custom profile to try with your M8 for example.
