Here is what I'm doing, and what I have:

-I use Nikon RAW files, with sRGB color space.
-My monitor is color calibrated with Spyder2Express
-Using Photoshop CS2

My working space in Photoshop is set to sRGB and preserve embedded profiles when opening. So I make my changes to a pic, save them with sRGB profile embedded. In Photoshop it looks great. But I open up the same pic in PaintShopPro and the color looks a bit off, as there is a noticeable color temperature shift. Not a uniform, color change in the whole picture, but noticeable. I save the pics as 16bit tiffs, and when I open them up in some pictures the color temperature goes down and things look a bit cool. See the same effect when opening in other image viewers.

When I 'Assign profile' from sRGB to the working space profile, it looks exactly how I want it when I open up in other image viewers.

Anyone have an idea of what is causing this color shift?

Sounds like PSP isn't color management (ICC) aware. Does the preview in PSP and a web browser previewing the image match? If so, PSP isn't ICC aware. The preview in Photoshop IS correct.

PSP, Windows Image and Fax Viwer, Internet Explorer all show the final photo the exact same, slightly off from how it looks in Photoshop.

This link shows how to enable Color Management and select the ICC profile to use for PaintShop Pro. When I calibrated my monitor I had to tell Photoshop to use the created profile and evidently you have to do so with PaintShop Pro also.

Hope this helps (a non PSP user)

Because ALL are previewing the document incorrectly. Photoshop is correct.

What Andrew said. Since I know for a fact that IE and Windows Image viewer are not ICC-aware, the fact that PSP is displaying the same as them tells me it is not either. Photoshop is right, the rest are wrong.
