Author Monitor and print colours different

Hi
I have just brought a new graphics card (NVidia 6600 256Mb) and done some
new scanning and some printing. Gob smacked!! It looks as though the scanned
images have way too much contrast even though it is set at norm as before.
So, I alter the image in PS CS and it looks OK, so I save as jpg (as norm)
open up another program I use because of the templates (I create multimedia
and put onto CD-R and DVD-R's), printed them off and they are so washed out
it is frigntening!
What is going on? I tried to calibrate but the Adobe Gamma has vanished. Why
would changing the graphics card make such a drastic change? Can I download
Adob Gamma from the net. I know it is on the CS disc but I installed from a
friends disc, who is on holiday for christmas in the Caribean!
Many thanks

Nig
