Each one of them may be configured for a different color space (adobe rbg, srgb, etc). check the color configurations in each package.

do you have different color profiles set up.
Sorry lame but all I can come up with. |

also if you calibrate your monitor make sure the profile .icc file hasn't got deleted, corrupt or just isn't loading... I did that to my colorvision profile the other day...

The "colors" look the same, the intensity looks different. It's probably, as setzler says, a default color space issue. IN photoshop I work for the web in sRGB colorspace, which is what save for web also defaults to. If I change the colorspace to my printer's default colorspace, I have to adjust the levels of the picture to compensate. If I print out os sRGB, the print comes out too light.

What colour profile are you using in Photoshop? 'save for web' will convert to sRGB
ACDSee looks very similar to the 'save for web' version so it may be interpretting the picture the same way.
Does Fotostation have any preset processing options for viewing? It's probably just some parameter that has been adjusted by accident.
edit: took too long to type
When viewing in PS are you using a proof setup?

I have noticed similar differences when switching between Photoshop CS, Corel Photopaint, and Paintshop Pro. The primary difference seems to be in the brightness and contrast rather than the color hue. I rely on Photoshop for the most accurate rendition just for the sake of consistant results.

There's different flavors of Spyder and the Calibration Software that comes with em...I use the Sypder and Colorvision software...
It creates a photo_cal.icm profile that lives in the C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color folder it would be very tough to delete that one
...however it also places a startup file in the Start Menu > All Users > Programs > Start Up folder that launchs Photo Cal using the Monitor profile you created every time you boot...and that one is easier to move or delete.
Loading the Color Profile at boot will change only the simple photo viewers Windows Photo and Fax viewer and maybe a couple of the others you mention, as well as the photos we see here on DPC.
Photoshop, Digital Image Pro, PSP etc... you have to actually tell it (set) to use the color profile that you created. Same goes for your printers
It gets even worse on mine as my nVidia Video card calls color profiles and with the click of a button I can actually apply the profile twice... If I load PhotoCal at startup I can't set the video card to use any profiles as it sends gamma through the roof...
I don't have it completely down, I got Digital Image Pro 10 right and that is primarily where I do my edits.

Another thing that I overlook when I calibrate my monitors on a freshly built PC is to actually associate the Calibrated Profile to my monitor, this insures that IE, Windows Fax and Photo viewer all look the same as in my case digital image pro and canon's photoprofessional.
To check that your monitor is set to use the calibrated profile:
Click Start Button > Run... > enter desk.cpl > press enter
Settings tab > Advanced button > Color Management tab
If you don't see Photo Cal in the Color Profiles... window
Click the Add
If you calibrated your monitor your profile should appear as one of the choices select it and add it.
Click on it to make it default and click the apply button.
ED: Don't know if any of this has helped you but thanx I got my colors spot on across all my goofy viewers...I did a rebuild a couple of weeks back and yes overlooked this one.
