1. If at all possible, upgrade to 1.3.2+ which has vastly better handling of CMYK colors. 2. Adobe RGB is not a valid monitor profile. A monitor profile is specific to your monitor. You can a create rough one with the color sync control panel in OSX. It will not be as accurate as a one generated with a color meter, but will help show gross defects and color shifts.
