Found This on the web. Might help:

Open up display in control panel, click on "change display settings", click on "Advanced settings", click on "Color Management", click on the "Color Management "bar, click the box which says, "Use my settings for this device", click on "Advanced" tag, find "Calibrate display" and click on it, follow the menu instructions for calibrating your monitor. Save the new calibration settings.

Is it just photos?

 

[zebdog]

yes it is just photos.
specs are monitor is a viewsonic
i am running windows 7 64 bit.
i have tried calibrate colour ,still have problem.

Can you post an image with the green tinge?

Can you use a digital camera to capture this problem, as sometimes it isn't obvious any other way such as with the Snipping Tool.

That was my point Dwarf!! If it doesn't have a green tinge then there is something amiss. I find it very unlikely to just be Photos!!

Have you tried viewing in a different photo viewer like Irfanview for instance?

Interested to view the other Forum if you can put the link here as I find it difficult to imagine how Windows Essentials could cause this problem. I'm not doubting your solution just the working of it!

maybe it was a problem with windows photo gallery, a part of the live essentials pack??

I,ve run essentials since its inception and never experienced that problem , I too would like to see the link

it was a surgestion from someone on another forum that i try to uninstall windows essentials as it might have been a problem with photo gallery.
i beleive this must be the case as i am when using picaso 3 and the photos are fine

Anthony is right we need your system specs to know what hardware we are dealing with.

That includes computer make, model, video card, PSU, ram, etc
