Did you recently install any GFX drivers? Or anything that could affect the way your colours look? The blue looks more like CMYK blue. Your reds look fucked up, too.
Is the blue in paint purple, too?
Open the colours dialogue and enter this: #0000ff. This is RGB blue, does it look purple, too?
Have you recently tried to calibrate your monitor? (shouldn't affect the way we see the colours, but who knows)
Parent
errr maybe you don't need photoshop then?

Well you can write the RGB values in the color-picker(click the colored square on the left). (Even I assume that you know the RGB-values for blue, I'll still put them here)Enter these values R:0 G:0 B:255, and if you still have purple, something's f'd up :D
i think it's a monitor problem
check RGB values at it or change monitor if you can
But if it was his monitor, the colours should look all right for us. :o

OK, try these things:

When you start a new document, make sure it has these settings (ofcourse, size doesn't matter):

Then, go to Edit - Color Settings (Shift+Ctrl+K), and make sure you have these settings:
