Picture Quality

looks fine to me, the greens are fine and the fence color looks pretty much like normal, unless it is really vibrant in reality,
i would think its the settings on your monitor,

check this to see they are correct...

Set the color for an LCD monitor

1. To get the best color displayed on your LCD monitor, make sure to set it to 32-bit color. This measurement refers to color depth, which is the number of color values that can be assigned to a single pixel in an image. Color depth can range from 1 bit (black-and-white) to 32 bits (over 16.7 million colors). For more information, see Change color management settings.
   
2. right click an empty area of the desktop and select open Screen Resolution.
3. Click Advanced settings, and then click the Monitor tab.
4. Under Colors, select True Color (32 bit), and then click OK.

Upload an Image? Maybe?

at long last a pic, i hope.

Yes this looks fine but you must have done some editing as this is not straight from the camera (or card) Your camera records a file that is between 9 and 13 meg and this one is minute by comparison. Less than a third of a MB! You must have at least resized it which sort of destroys the whole idea. This is why I wanted you to put an original file up on Photobucket!!!! What does the photo you uploaded look like on your PC when viewed in WPG?
Are you absolutely sure that when you loaded a Windows sample photo into the viewer it was opened in the same viewer that you use for your photos? If it was there can't be anything wrong with your display properties otherwise the sample photos would show up the same problems and you said they were fine. Facts are contradicting themselves here. Have you managed to install and use Irfanview? I think your Windows Photo Gallery insatallation is corrupt somewhere so please check again what program you viewed the sample photos in. Otherwise we will continue to go round and round in circles and eventually disappear somewhere nasty!!

Here's one more thing to try.
Tom,
Please:
Click the Start Button. Click "All Programs" Find "Accessories" Click it then search down the list for Paint and double click it. This will open The Paint Program. At the top right click the arrow head ringed on the attached screenshot here:


Then click "Open" and go to where you store your photos . Select one and click "Open" your pictire will appear in Paint. How does that look?

So are you saying that we should stop here? You are happy to have a good camera that you can't view the results properly on your PC?
