    Default Lightroom export woes

    I've seen tons of threads in various places talking about this issue, but I have been unable to find an answer. Hopefully someone here can help me because I'm about to drop Lightroom altogether, which is aggravating because I've found it to be a great workflow tool. Here's my problem:

    When I export photos from Lightroom, they're really dark, really contrasty, and really green. And I can't figure out why. Here is an example of an image exported:
    Lightroom Export | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    Here's the same image, but it's a screenshot of Lightroom. This image appears in my browser exactly the same as it does in Lightroom:
    Screenshot | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    As you can see, the images are totally different.

    These are my specs:
    Windows 7
    Google Chrome and IE
    Lightroom 3.6
    Photos are RAW from both my D40 and D7000
    Lightroom is set to export in sRGB
    Monitor is calibrated via a PANTONE Color Calibrator that came integrated with my laptop

    One more interesting thing to note is that if I export to a jpeg and view in a browser or in Windows Photo Viewer, I get that muddy contrasty disaster. When I re-import that jpeg into Lightroom it displays like the original RAW. So this must be something related to the export settings in Lightroom, that my browser and Windows Photo Viewer are unable to read. I've played with the export settings for hours and nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas?
