| | Pictures on system-color is completely off Hello all, I just upgraded to Vista Home Basic from XP. I'm having an odd problem where all of my digital pictures display incorrectly on my computer. The color is awful, and has purple and blue hues throughout. The pictures look fine in reality. If I upload them to another site, or E-mail them to someone, they're fine. I have tried viewing them in both MS Photo gallery as well as in windows explorer, and they both look the same. So it's just my Vista computer that is doing this. Pictures always looked fine before. No, my monitor color is not off. No, my camera isn't cheap or broken, either. Any thoughts? |

| | Re: Pictures on system-color is completely off Thanks John. I followed all of the instructions, but I wasn't able to fix it. I only had one profile listed, and that was for my monitor. I deleted it(per the instructions), and it made things worse. Is there a good color profile I can use instead? I think if I could find an OK profile to use in its place, I'd be good.
