Color Profile/Management Off

Hello,
I have been having a problem for some time now, but recently It has been bothering me more and more and causing me to waste more time and money.
The problem is I design a nice website in PS or a business card in Ill. and on my machine things look fine. However, when I publish the website or sent the file to the client often the colors are off some. Websites are often darker on other peoples computers. To sum it up often times things just don't look like they _should_ look on other computers.
Now I am running a dual monitor setup and both monitors are Samsung 700DF. When I go to Color Management tab it says
Current monitor: Samsung 700DF
Default minitor profile: S700DF
My monitor(s) have the brightness at 50 and the contrast at 100. Everything looks crisp and clear but the variation between my machines and others is killing me.
I have asked a couple fellow friends, to check their settings for me, and one of my buddys says his 'Current monitor' correctly lists his Sony Trinitron monitor but where it says 'default monitor profile' it just says <none>. Most machines I have checked just say '<none>'. Is this what my machine should say so I can design stuff t hat will look the same across the board? Instead of using the S700DF profile for my monitor? I have tried adobe gamma but that doesn't seem to do much.
I cannot remove the profile it seems. I click 'remove' and it says 'an error occurred when disassociating S700DF.icm'. I can remove my whole monitor(s) from the device manager but everything is back to normal upon a the next restart.
So I ask you? What profile are you using? Does it look the same on other machines? And what can I do to get my color setup corrected? HELP!
Thanks!
Cheers
