The gun you have is a good gun, so don't give up on it yet. I got mine calibrated the first time using it, but after messing with the cabinet I needed to calibrate again. I know how frustrating it can be, but make sure there aren't any other "signals" that will interfere with it and make sure your drivers are up to date.
Try calibrating at different distances and at different points on the screen. Once it's calibrated, you shouldn't have to do it again and you can enjoy it.
I know that didn't answer your question, but I thought I would throw in my .02

You're likely getting a lot of infrared pollution. Draw the blinds and it should eliminate much of it. If that doesn't work, to prove the iR pollution, use a long tube (e.g. off an A1 roll of paper, or failing that some leftover Xmas wrapping paper tubes) taped to the end of the gun, when pointing at the screen.
