Bummer. As a short-term fix to avoid the annoying
differences you could edit in soft-proof mode - at least
that way whatever you see is what you'll also get in
applications that have no colour management. That's what I
did for a while until I eventually got mine near enough to
be usable.

I had noted that you said earlier that it wasn't just
Photoshop that was aeected but Rawshooter as well, so I'd
guess it would extend to any colour-managed program.

The real problem is Windows itself; trying to make colour
management work properly on an OS that doesn't actually use
it is almost impossible, the best you can do is get it to
work "well enough". Success relies on getting the LUT-loader
kludge to provide a system-wide video adjustment that's a
close enough visual match to the results it gets from
colour-aware apps that actually use the profile it
generates.

Nightmare.
