Improper color display in Photoshop 7.01

[Guest]

I'm afraid I've erased some vital component used only by Photoshop to display proper color. After calibrating my monitor I threw away some old color profiles.......also thew out some stuff I thought was spyware or ad junk but i now fear i've discarded something XP Pro uses to properly display color. colors are extremly over saturated and contrasty....only in Photoshop

Tried to do system restore but since I'd thrown away the previous monitor profiles it wouldn't restore...Reset Photoshop color management....threw away preferences file.....re-installed Phototshop 7.01...nothing is working...color in all other programs is beautiful.......Do I have to re-install the system software

If I have to re-install....can I re-install over my existing system? What's the best procedure to get the mystery component back into the system?

If you calibrated your monitor with Adobe Gamma, then look in msconfig and
see if it's loading at startup. If it is, remove the check from the box next
to it, exit, and reboot. Load Photoshop. Is the color back to normal? If
not, go to Control Panel, click Adobe Gamma, and run the wizard program.
You'll get more accurate results if you run it in advanced mode. When
finished, make sure that the box next to Adobe Gamma is checked in msconfig,
and reboot. See if Photoshop is behaving normally now.

If you used a method of calibrating your monitor in Photoshop other than
Adobe Gamma, then ignore the above, and repeat the procedure you used
previously.
