Screen Calibration using Adobe Gamma in Windows XP

How do you effectively calibrate the screen in XP using Adobe Gamma?

I notice that when I work on photos in Photoshop in XP, the colours are very different when I open the JPEGs or RAW back in Mac OS or on any other monitor

Mac Book Pro 2 GHz, Mac OS X (10.4.6)

When you calibrate the screen using system preferences->displays->colors->calibrate display, the calibration states that the gamma setting is different for a Mac than a PC. Macs native gamma is set at 1.8 whle the PC standard is 2.2. You should create a calibration profile calling it a "PC Display" or something easily remembered, then activate that screen setting and reboot in Windows
