No Adobe gamma. I am going to calibrate another system (desktop) that has XP on it and see if I get the same results. I did get a reply from Datacolor support, here is what they said:

"Images will look different in color-managed and non-color-managed applications. The colors shown in the color managed application are correct, whereas the color shown in the non color managed applications can be anything."

Again, I don't think I complete understand how this all works. Why can't I calibrate my monitor via the LUT values and forget about the custom profile and just stick with sRGB? I asked this to support, we will see what they say.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
