Calibrating laptop screen ??

[sid]

Is this possible ? Or, rather, is there a simple way of doing this ? I've had some unsatisfacroty results trying to get some prints made of my digital photographs. (I should mention here that I had them printed from Yahoo photos. I've had not so great results from Walgreens too)
What kind of processing do you do to your images to ensure that they print out the way you want them to ?
Appreciate your opinions !

If you have Photoshop (I think Photoshop Elements, too), you can use the Adobe Gamma program to calibrate the screen and set up a profile.

It should be in your Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
