I have a dual monitor setup under XP (a CRT and an LCD) and use the 
Microsoft Color Applet to apply the two profiles to the monitors.  You 
say you have installed the applet but nothing to indicate that you did 
more than install it.

You have to:
1) Create profiles for each monitor.
2) Run the WinColor applet after installing it and assign the correct 
profile to each monitor - Devices tab.
3) Install the WinColor applet in the Startup folder with the command 
to run it with a "/L" parm similar to this from my system: "C:\Program 
Files\Pro Imaging Powertoys\Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet for 
Windows XP\WinColor.exe" /L.  The "/L" runs it without requiring you to 
respond to it.
4) Make sure that there is no other program running at startup (for 
example Adobe Gamma) that is trying to set the profile(s).

During my boot cycle I can see the monitors change as the two profiles 
are applied.

I hope this helps,
