Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you mean or am not doing it correctly as my monitor still has a definite blue cast. Here is what I have done: 1. Run the EIZO ColorNavigator to set the monitor to 6500K, 2.2 gamma brightness = 80cd/m2. Once it has run, I save to result and then exit.

Does it look cool already at this point?
2. I run Spyder3Elite for 6500K, 2.2 gamma. When it takes the initial measurements, it shows that the color is 6877K with a gamma of 2.2 and brightness of 77.8 cd/m2.

Not usually necessary to define the whitepoint again; you could try calibrating to Native Whitepoint in the Spyder software...
3. I tried the tools->colorimeter under Spyder3Elite and it showed the color temp as 6876K.
Well, its being consistant. I suppose you could target 6200 in the Spyder software and see if that gives you something closer to 6500k as a result...
This is the point at which confusion sets in. I need to get the monitor set at 6500K. Basically as far as I can tell, I would have to use the Eizo ColorNavigator to make changes to R,G,B values if I wanted to try to use the Spyder utility to build a profile for the video card. I am running under Win XP and have disabled WinColor (the color control applet). I have dual monitors off one video card. I do know that I am setting/measuring the correct monitor under both software tools.
It would be worth testing: disconnect the second display, and see if anything changes with recalibration of the Eizo...
