Has no one else experienced this problem? I am working on upgrading a friends computer. He has PhotoShop, InDesign, etc. I took his computer home to upgrade it, and only took the "box" (no monitor or other peripherals) to my shop. I noticed while going to Microsoft's Windows Update web site to get latest XP Pro upgrades) that the text was practically unreadable, yet other web sites appear to display jsut fine. Then I learned about this Adobe Gamma thing - apparently it calibrates to a specific monitor. Could this be the problem I'm having when I hook his box up to my monitors (I've actually tried a couple different monitors of mine and it still doesn't display the microsoft site very well)? Or when I take it back will it work fine with his monitor? Or, by some quirk - is it a bad video card (but bench test show the video card should be just fine)?
