I have ran Adobe Gamma
Did you save the resulting file? Is it the active profile? (right-click on desktop, Properties, Settings, Advanced, Color Management).
Is the file loaded at start-up (Gamma Loader in Startup).
Sometimes, after being loaded, a profile is overruled by another profile loader that is forgotten, but still around.

Now while running gamma, im not sure of some of the settings, I usually just leave them for default, is this right? This is a standard 17" Dell LCD.
Christopher,
Leaving them as they are does nothing indeed. This may not work with an LCD, but try these steps.
1. Set your LCD (temporarily) to it’s native pixel resolution. (often "optimum", often the maximum) This is imperative.
2.Call Adobe Gamma from Control Panel.
3. Use the mode where you see three different colour patches (RGB).
4. carefully adjust the sliders so that the inner part matches the outer part in brightness impression.
(squint your eyes, take some distance. If you don’t do this precisely, it won’ work).
When you’re asked to save the .icc file, give it some useful name like "monitor_20070521.icc" or something like that.
This file will then be saved in the "Color" directory and loaded at startup.
Also Ps will adapt this file. It should be visible in Edit-color Settings (Monitor..).
If all is ok, your screen is calibrated (forced to tell the "truth") and profiled (is described what was necessary to get there).
If others chime in telling you that a "hardware solution" is better than all this, they’re right.

First determine if the "white" in the jpeg is truly white. Use the Eyedropper tool and Info palette to test the purity of the white. A neutral white would have all RGB values the same value, at or near 255. Any deviation of R=G=B would indicate a colour cast in the photo.
Also, try this: create a new document and fill it with four shades of white. In one RGB=255, the second RGB=250, the third RGB=245, and fourth RGB=240. Goto full screen mode (hit F key twice) and see how neutral these appear on screen.
If you now still see yellow, then invest in proper calibration tools since Adobe Gamma does not work well with LCD monitors. Indeed, the new Photoshop CS3 no longer includes Adobe Gamma.
