Color Temperature in Photo Gallery

I recently installed Windows Vista Business on my PC. Before the upgrade, I
was using Roxio Easy Media Creator for my photos, videos, etc. Seeing ho
Microsoft has included a decent photo tool in Windows Vista (Photo Gallery) I
figured I'd give it a try before reinstallig Roxio. However, when I open any
of my pictures, the color temperature is all messued up. There is a brownish
haze on all of them that I can only fix by adjusting the color temperature
slider. Has anyone else run into this before? If so, how do you fix it? I
never had this problem with Roxio. The pictures always displayed the correct
colors from the start. Thanks for the help!

Proceed at your own risk

Vista has a reported problem with color management.
Every time you get one of those idiot warning boxes, e.g. do you really want
to do the simple thing you have already clicked three boxes to affirm you
want to do it, Vista reportedly unloads monitor profile information from the
video driver.
What is listed as the profile may not be the active profile.
If you calibrate your monitor for color managed digital photography you have
to remember to reload this profile every *******g time.
Presumably you do not calibrate your laptop but do need to make sure that
the color profile is the generic one for your computer screen (its in there,
you just have to find it).
