Illustrator CS2: Color shift to gray in gradient
If you open up an Illustrator 10 file in Illustrator CS2, some gradients might be gray (de-saturated), but the colors on the ends of the gradient look fine.
Illustrator CS2 will not let you gradient a Pantone (Spot Color). This makes since in the printing world, but if you are using Illustrator to layout a webpage, it is annoying. The answer is to change the Pantone swatch that is used in the gradient to a process color within the Swatch palette.

Are your Edit>>Color Settings the same? That would be my first thing to check.
Try Adobe Forums next.
This post might help.
