The yellow tinted background glitch happened in Windows Photo Gallery and Adobe Photoshop while I was using Windows Vista, and there is no luck for Windows 7 Ultimate installation as well :-(
As you can see in this animation, Windows Photo Viewer shows different colour at before and after applying the fix:
I haven’t installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 as well as Windows Photo Gallery, but guess I will see the same weird colour problem in these two graphic applications.
How to fix the tinted yellow-to-pink color problem in Windows 7 graphic applications?
The good old trick applied and it works well in Windows 7 to fix display color glitch as seen in Windows Photo Viewer. It should be applicable to Adobe Photoshop, Windows Photo Gallery, etc (since the Color Management is a system setting, not limited to individual or selected applications).
1) Click Windows Start button, type
2) Select the display device (your monitor), tick “use my settings for this device” check-box, highlight the ICC profile and click Remove button.
Once that is done, the Windows Photo Viewer is showing right colour as I wish :-)

Windows Photo Gallery is not in my Windows 7 Ultimate, only the Photo Viewer program. Anyway, it can be downloaded from Windows Live.

Yo rock!!!!!

Discovered this trick posted here just now and it’s good to see that well over a year since you posted it, the cure is still doing a fine job.
I just cured my Preview Windows 7 viewer from peach-tinting all my photos in a very peculiar way. Looks like Windows 7 has given us far too many alternative settings. I’d never have found that one buried in there without your help.
Thanks for this cure, it has worked like a charm.
Thanks heaps! Your tip works like a champ!
I have two monitors one Samsung and one Sony. Just installed PS CS 5 and found this problem on the Samsung monitor. Follow your tip and it fixed it.
You are a champ!
