Advice Windows photo viewer

[Edmond]

My windows photo viewer has started to put a yellow-ish background around the frame of the picture i am looking at, but it also seems to be putting a yellow-ish filter on the actual picture too?

How do i turn the background back to white again?

Cheers

Kick it out the window, download and use this instead:

Its just the default viewer that windows uses when you view a pic from the pictures folder, i dont want to start downloading different stuff, it works fine, its just that since about 3 weeks ago it started having a yellow background to it. I've obvioustly clicked on something, i just want to put it back to normal......please

So thanks to both of you
