With monitor calibration systems, do they work with MS Windows, or do they only work with Photoshop and other calibration-aware software?
I know my graphics card drivers can handle curve adjustments because I've played around with them in the past. My calibration is quite close, and the gammas are supposedly correct, but there is still a big difference between my two monitors, with different colour casts at different grey levels.
Software wise, I use PSP and Picasa, which I'm pretty sure is not calibration aware, so I would need it to be native to Windows or the graphics card. Can anyone confirm whether this is possible with the Spyder type hardware calibrators?

Every time I boot Windows I get a little box telling me the file has been successfully loaded into my graphics card. I use Spyder 2 Express, fast, easy and cheap and made a huge difference from my eye job.

Monitor calibration tools work by sending signals to your monitor to display certain colours, they then scan the signal to see how close it is to see what the difference is and create a profile to correct any difference. It is not based on what software you are using.
I have the Huey Huey Review here its a great starter monitor calibration system IMHO.

I use EyeOne and very pleased with the results. All of my monitors FINALLY match! :)
