I have been having an issue with Windows Phota Gallery on one of my two
Vista machines. My Dell Laptop works fine, but my Dell Desktop with a
BFGTech 7950 card is having problems displaying photos properly. Photo
Gallery seems to have an overall yellow tint and is therefore darker,
including the panels on either side of the photo display which which appear
yellow on the desktop but are white on the laptop. The issue in knowledge
base was a problem displaying in Direct X, and it suggests a registry
change to force it to go to GDI. No difference. Any sugestions?

Some people have had luck with Control Panel > Color Management and changing
their color profile. Is there an ICC color profile available for your monitor?

I'm having the same issue. Started with a Samsung Monitor driver update.
Playing with the color management doesn't seem to fix. What is the kb #?

Try use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile. I had the same problem. My card is Radeon
1950X and monitor Samsung SyncMaster 205BW, VISTA Ultimate, 2GB RAM.

ICC profile?
You would have to go to the Samsung site to get the profile.
Did the driver update install a profile? Did it create a directory? If so the
profile might be there, and you can use Control Panel > Color Management to set
it as your default profile.

It's not a RGB issue, as I could use Office Picture Manager and it displays
the photo in the right colour. I also have "white" background in explorer
when compared to the yellow-tint background in Windows Photo Gallery side by
side.

Actually, I was having the exact same issue, with the same monitor, and
after having changed the profile to the IEC61966-2.1, the problem was
resolved.
