Yes. The problem is with the default color profiles you have setup.

Look under Edit > Color Settings at what workspace you are defaulting to. Mine are set as shown in the attachment and I have no problems such as you are describing.

I just tried it too, because I recently upgraded my design station... reinstalled all my programs & now I'm having some serious color problems in Photoshop... most notably my white looks like vanilla ice cream :(

This modification didn't take care of it, but since you may be able to help me Fred... I want to email you a copy of an email I already placed 4 screenshots & some descriptions in for my IT guy who couldn't help.

I had that problem with two different new monitors. What you need to do is to assign a different workspace profile to the monitor than it's manufacturer thinks is what you will like.

(well, just to keep myself honest... I'm on a dual boot system,
and changed profiles on both to correct the problem on both...
