Exclamation Help! Adobe Gamma has smegged my monitor!

Thought I'd use Adobe Gamma to calibrate my monitor at work. Followed the wizard but the screen looks terrible.
I've tried doing a factory reset on the monitor but that's just made the monitor have a ghosting effect. I've gone through the Adobe Gamma wizard 4 times now.
The screen just looks blurred and the colour is crap!

have you tried to use the monitor on a different PC...ghosting sounds like the monitor has been done in!!!

considering the factory re-set did not work

I used this one for mine, and am happy with the results : Download Monitor Calibration Wizard 1.0 - Monitor calibration wizard, unlimited profiles, persistent profile for 3D games - Softpedia

The monitor was fine (in terms of ghosting) before I hit the factory reset and auto config
Will try Hanslows recommendation

Have you tried un-installing Adobe Gamma so that the system goes back to default settings???

I've removed the profile that adobe gamma produced. Used Hanslows calibration proggy, colours are much better.
Slight ghosting still remains though. Monitor is only 2 years old!
