I am using a Nikon 4000 ED to scan slides. If I view the scans in Windows (windows viewer), they appear dark and cool (blue). Much more so than the actual slides.
If I open them in Photoshop 7, the color is warmed up substantially and the image appears much lighter.
What causes this? How can I control how the image displays?

Here are settings:
I use a Samsung 173P flatscreen. It came with color management utilities. I calibrated using MagicTune but the profile does not appear with the usual icm’s.
(In Nikon software)
-In Nikon prefs, I have Nikon Color Management checked.
-Under monitor, "factory default" is selected. -Color Space is sRGB.
-Color balance not altered
-Analog Gain (settings to reduce blueness)
Master 0.05
Red 0.15
Green 0.15
Blue -0.10
(In Photoshop 7)
I have not run the Adobe Gamma wizard though I suppose it is possible that I have inadvertently(?) changed something.
Here are the Photoshop color settings:

There is a slight reduction in the coolness when the Web Graphics management setting is turned on as compared to Color Management Off. This is only a *minor* difference compared to the substantial difference when the image is viewed in Windows.
Finally, here is a comparison of how an image looks in Windows versus Photoshop
