Saved images (jpg) washed out compared to CS3 working image

I am having a heck of a time figuring out this one. Images composed in
CS3 and saved as JPGs look different. That is, the source image - on
the screen in CS3, or the working image, looks the way I want it. Then
I save it as a JPG and it looks washed out when viewed in any other
application or browser. It is like someone turned the gamma way up on
the JPG version.

All my other graphics programs, Gimp, Polyview, etc.. do not have this
behavior - that is , they behave normally.

This only happens on my home PC, CS3 behaves normally on my office
PC. I have looked in color settings, color profiles, even have the
correct ICM for my monitor. Driving me nuts.

Help!

Read and understand the chapter on "color management" in your manual.

Photoshop does "color management." It changes the way pictures look on
your screen to compensate for your exact brand of computer monitor and
your working profile. Other programs, such as Web browsers (at least by
default), do not do color management.

If you want to see your pictures in Photoshop the way that they will
look in other programs, use "monitor RGB" as your working color space,
or click on View->Proof Setup->Monitor RGB.
