Poor picture resolution in Window Photo...Expand / Collapse

When I view pictures with windows photo gallery the resolution is poor. The
contrast is off with very sharp transitions between colors. Kind of like
pixelated but on a large scale. I hope I am able to convey what I mean by
this description. If I open the same photo in "Picture Viewer" or "Office
Picture Manager" the photo looks fine. It is something specific with windows
photo gallery. Can anyone lend me some assistance on this so I may view
photos with proper resolution/color rendering in windows photo gallery?
Thanks

John, thank you for your prompt response. I do appreciated it. I checked
off the "Use my settings for this device" as you suggested and added the sRGB
IEC61966-2.1 and set it as the default. This was in place of the Dell
2407WFP-HC which was the only prior listing and had been of course the
default. The change worked immediately. The photos now look great in Window
Photo Gallery.

Will this setting be expected to have any color effect on other
applications/games and if so what should I expect?

Again, thank you for your help.

Regards,
Mark
