My work computer has Windows 7. Overall I love the interface and it seems faster than WinXP Pro which I run at home.

My problem is that whenever I double click on a image file, it opens the Windows 7 version of Windows Picture & Fax Viewer. I don't think that's what it is called any longer though. Anyway, every image I look at with the view has a yellow overlay, even though the images are not yellow. The only way to see the image without it being yellow is to either open it with my browser or set it as the desktop image. Anyone know why it is yellow or how to fix it?

If you take a screen grab of the screen (with the yellowed image), does THAT image contain the yellow?

If you download "colorcop", and use the eyedropper, does it show white as white (#FFFFFF)< or some other value w/ yellow in it?)


Maybe it's the video driver, or the color profile...

Right click on the image, select "open with..."

Then select Paint (or other app) UNCHECK THE "always open this type of file w/ this app" chackbox)

It's not the image. Opening it in paint or IE (or setting it as my desktop) gives it a yellow tint. I don't think the problem resides within the image files, because it is all image files, and when I look at the same files on my computer at home they are fine. Only within the picture viewer do they have the problem. Weird.
