Thank you for the replies, these are some good ideas! I went to the system configuration utility, and I do not have the Adobe Gamma loader listed there. I went to the adobe.com support link, and I followed the directions up to the point where it was going to recalibrate my monitors, but the monitors are not the problem. While I was there however, I did download and reinstall the Adobe ICC profiles. It did not fix the problem. I went to the international color Consortium site at color.org and downloaded their ICC profiles, but they would not open. I searched the web@fileXT.com they confirmed that the file was from ICC but they did not explain what program to use to open it. Then I tried to open the file using Photoshop 7, it did not work. Then I uninstalled Photoshop 7 and reinstalled it using the add/remove function in Windows XP, and guess what? (That didn't work either) I keep a computer log of all the programs that I install and changes that I make, and the only other things that were done to the computer lately where: upgrade to Adobe Reader 7.0, and I bought a new Canon flatbed scanner and installed the photo studio 5.5 software that it came with. Thank you all for your help so far Randy
