About a month ago my Photoshop began acting up, I've searched around the internet, reading a few FAQS and some boards, but I haven't come up with any answers yet.

To begin with, I would open Photoshop and an error dialog box would pop up with a message that read something like

"Incorrect Monitor Profile" or "Mismatched Profiles" or something similar.

it gave me two options, one was to ignore and another was to use a different profile. Clicking the different profile option made all my colors turn different shades of pink and purple, or rarely, green. Clicking Ignore made PS act normally.

Now, for whatever reason, the dialog box no longer appears when I start up Photoshop, but when it all loads all my colors are pink / purple / or possibly green. All the pictures I load up are all in these colors too. It's made Photoshop basically unusable.

I'm usually pretty decent troubleshooting these problems myself, but this had me really stumped; I'm not sure where to even begin. There is no indication really of what is wrong.

Hopefully someone understands what I'm talking about and can give me a little help.

Thanks in radvance,

Plato

First try running Adobe Gamma from the Control Panel menu, and second in your PS Color settings, turn off color management.

Photoshop is doing what it’s supposed to do: Color Manage. You can turn it off, but you would do better to read up on it to understand how (and why) Color Management works.
This site is a very useful primer on Color Management in Photoshop:
