I'm using Windows Live Photo Gallery, running in XP SP2, and when I click on
a thinmbnail, and it enlarges a picture, it is adding a green cast to the
picture (so snow, for example, is light green).

Does anyone have any solutions to this (I should add that this doesn't
happen in any other of my many graphics programs)?

Found my own solution, which might be helpful to anyone else using this under
XP. The problem (as outlined with Vista in one of these threads) is the use
of a colour management profile.

Solution:
Right click on the desk top
Chose 'properties'; 'settings'; 'advanced'; 'color management'
Remove any colour management

I like it that Vista casts yellow, XP green...

However the inability of Live Windows Photo Gallery to correctly take into
account colour management profiles is a strong minus for any serious graphics
user who needs to use colour profiles... The profile I was using is actually
the correct one for the monitor, provided by the monitor manufacturer.

No such problem with Live Gallery here. Any chance your photos contain
embedded profiles that could be conflicting with color management?
