Photoshop CS4: White background is blueish

Hello,
I just installed my CS4 on another machine.
In all programs, colors display normally - just in Photoshop a pure white #FFFFFF has a blueish tone.
However, when I save an image and view it in any other program, the white is white again.

What happened and how do I get my pure white back in Photoshop?

Using CS4 on Win 8.

Thanks!

This may be due to a defective monitor profile; try resetting your settings by holding down CTRL + ALT + SHIFT as you start Photoshop. You may be alerted to the defective profile, if so just choose to ignore the profile.

If that doesn't work, it probably wouldn't hurt to see if your monitor has any new drivers and/or calibration software available by going to the manufacturer's website.

You're my hero.

White is back and I am downloading the latest driver.
I also noticed that the guides look blurry. Hope that will be fixed too.
Do I have to create a color profile now?
