Image background turn out yellow but shall be white

Image background turn out yellow but shall be white

Really need help.
I changed my desktop from XP to Vista Home Premium.

Recently, i discover that those previously scanned documents (before i 
switched to vista), or even keyboard print screen image, the image 
background which shall be white turn out yellow/grey yellow in Windows Photo 
Gallery or i make it as wallpaper in vista.

However, if i insert the graphic file into MS Words, the yellow back ground 
turns back to white background which is should be.

Im using integrated graphic adaptor. But i dont think it gives the problem 
otherwise why the color turn out correctly in Words?
My monitor remained the old LCD monitor when i used XP.

Something wrong with vista Windows Photo Gallery or vista' color processing?

Pls advise.

Take a look at this KB article:

When you view an image in Windows Photo Gallery on a Windows Vista-based 
computer, the image is yellow

Re: Image background turn out yellow but shall be white

Thanks that clear some of my doubts.
Anyway, i dare not to try to remove the color profile yet...because im not 
sure Autodesk autocad will need that.

In fact, i have another color conflict -- the color pdf file created by 
scanner also appear yellow even i open in Adobe acrobat. Im not sure after 
deleting the color profile will solve this problem as well.

By the way, Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer in XP is no more 
available in vista?

Regards,

Re: Image background turn out yellow but shall be white

See attach.

1) why i still need to remove the color profile since i can untick "Use my 
setting for this device"? I have tried tick and untick but my image in 
Windows photo gallery / scan a new color pdf image still appear yellow.

2) what will be used if i remove the color profile because there is only one 
profile there.

Regards,

Don't disable the .icc/icm profile, if you do any graphics work, just 
because of Photo Gallery not working properly.  It seems to be a common 
problem and I am surprised that it hasn't been sorted out yet.

There are loads of better programs, ranging from free (IrfanView), to paid 
for, like ACDSee, and to the expensive, but amazingly slick and beautiful 
Adobe Lightroom.
