Vista's Color Management

On Vista, take a screenshot of a window and save it as a JPEG somewhere. Open the screenshot in Paint. Now also open it in Windows Photo Gallery (it should by default). Compare the colors of the two. Does the Photo Gallery one appear more blue or brighter. The Paint one should show the original colors. On my PC, the Photo Gallery one is brighter than it should be.

Let me know if the one in Photo Gallery appears different to the same screenshot in Paint. And any ideas how to make the Photo Gallery one look normal? Thanks.
 
Both appear the same to me. Are you sure you've viewing the picture to scale (actual size) in the photo gallery?

Yes, I'm sure. The colors are different and I think it is to do with color management.

Can you please go to Start (on Vista, not XP), type in Color Management and select it.
At the top it will say Device, and in the drop-down it will say Display (followed by the name of your monitor). Which profile is associated with the Display device in the list below? Please let me know what profile the display is using.

Now click on the drop-down menu and choose your printer. What profile does that use.

This info may help me. Thanks.

I don't have any profiles associated with the devices (two monitors or printer) thus I'm using the system defaults.
