I generally just use Apple's tools to color correct my own monitors and it seems to work well enough for me but one of my technically challenged colleagues royally f***ed up her Windows machine by trying to color coordinate it. She's a photo retoucher so it's of absolute importance to fix this.
Any ideas on a decent software solution for the PC? I like cheap and I like fast. Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to fix her machine as quickly as possible, she's a little nutty.

Are there any software solutions that might work? I know that I'll never find one of those Spyders in a store and she wants this done tomorrow.

The monitor doesn't have a factory default reset?
Or is it something in the PC OS she has screwed up?
If you know which Windows she is using, maybe someone else can help you out with this.

I'm pretty sure it's XP. Almost positive. I'll know for sure tomorrow.
I was planning on resetting as many of the settings as I can find, but I'm not really sure what she has/hasn't screwed up.
I was hoping that somebody might know of something to download so I can go there with something tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to post 'em. I'm open to anything. :D
I haven't calibrated a PC monitor in six years. Still not quite sure how I got roped into this.

Adobe Gamma loader? Otherwise if you can wait for tomorrow I found one that does the same thing at work. I think I searched cnet for monitor calibration.

What's the name of that program, Mynock?
Oh, and I don't have to head over there today... Stomach flu FTW! :(

Oh, and Mynock, did you ever get that Mii Parade problem sorted? Is Jimmy Hoffa roaming the Parade?

No he isn't in my Mii Parade. Do you see mine? I have Dwight, Chuck Norris, Zach Braff?
I think you have to have Mingle on your individual Miis. Also you have to have travel on in your Mii Parade settings. I might also have to have connect24, but I don't know for sure.

Weird, I have all of those settings turned on. I'll check again later today.
