Stilly -

If you happen to have Photoshop Elements, CSx, Photoshop, or another Adobe image program, most of them have a sort of "hidden" utility that they refer to as a "monitor color calibrator" although it's actually more of a "grayscale setup." I might be helpful getting two monitors more closely matched. It's a "tweak to match" on a pattern, that creates a "color profile" for the monitor, that's then used for everything for that monitor - sort of.

It doesn't open in Elements (but might in Photoshop?), but is a separate "program" that I think gets buried in Documents and Settings\<username>\Adobe, and the name doesn't even suggest (to me) what it does.

I think I found it by looking for "Color Balance" or something similar in Elements Help, and used it recently; but don't find it with a quick look now. You might find it on your own machine before I can locate it again.

Sorry to be vague here. I thought I intended to remember exactly where it was. I may have to have another lucky accident to get more specific.
