    Background Color in Windows Photo Gallery

    When I pick a picture from The gallery and bring it to the next frame so it
    can be edited, the backgroung color is a beigh that almost bleeds through the
    picture and makes it very difficult to see the real colors in the picture.
    When I run it in Slide Show mode, the colors are great.

    Is there a way to change that background color?

    the background in my gallery used to be white and is still white on my
    friends machine at home. but its turned beige on my computer and his
    computer at work and i don't understand why. its not even just the bg color,
    its some kind of color profile issue because the images are all wrong too.
    some one please give a solution!
