If you are experiencing blurring in the corners of your monitor there are most likely one of two things going on.

1. Your monitor is building up a magnetic charge and should be degaussed. This is usually taken care of by the monitor when you shut the power off then on (not always, but usually on newer models). Often they will have a degauss function built into the monitor that you can activate via a menu or button.

2. Your monitor is going bad.

To prolong the life of a monitor it's best to keep it away from being banged, or from around moisture and humidity. Keep the temperature in the general area down (make sure there is pleny of ventilation, CRT monitors get hot, lcd's not as much). Make sure any weird magnetic sources are not near the monitor... things like stereo speakers and phones are common culprets for causing distortion and damage to a monitor... but I've even seen times when people stuck kitchen magnets to the side of computers to decorate them... or accidentally dropped one of those magnetic paper clip olders behind a screen without realizing it and it screwed things up.

As for doing the calibration, Adobe was kind enough to provide a little application called "adobe gamma" with your adobe installations (They all pretty much install it when you install their software). Just double click that bad boy and run through the step by step instructions. It just takes practice.
