Dear wellsie1607,
I realise that you have probably reviewed a document such as this one
from Monaco Systems or Adobe about color management. However, in my
humble opinion, your solution lies herein.
http://www.monacosys.com/pdfs/Photoshop7Workflow.pdf
Here is another from computer darkroom, referring to digital camera
input, but also provides a very detailed description of the color
management process.
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps7-colour/ps7_1.htm
I understand color management to cover the entire system... from your
perception of the original image to your perception of the printed
output... Thus I interpret your description that "selecting color
management makes the images in photoshop look too red" to indicate
that color management on the input side is maladjusted (this may be
compensated for on the printing side - so printed images are
acceptable).
As you say, the monitor looks fine with other applications, so the
most likely problem is therefore the profile that Photoshop is
applying to the image from your input device. I don't think you
mentioned an input device, but this does not matter to the answer as
profiles for all input devices and defaults must be correctly set up.
However, I would suggest that you follow the entire end to end color
management process described in say, the computer darkroom tutorial.
This would ensure that every setting has been checked. You may also
have problems with incorrect profiles saved with existing images.
These may need to be saved with correct profiles.

If this provides your solution, I would be happy to re-post it as an
answer, or to provide any clarification.
