You need to do two things!.
* reset your camera!.
* shoot some test shots with something with colour and then compare the subjects colour and exposure to the image on your LCD and your computers monitor!.
There should be no difference!.
Why reset!?
Your LCD may have been adjusted so you can see the images in when shooting outdoors!.
Monitor calibration is much more important when shooting photos that are going to be used for commercial purposes!. To do that, you will need to buy a monitor calibration device and take care of that end of your issue!.
The overexposure could be due to using your flash too close to your object!. Most "table top" photography is done using incandescent lighting and the camera white balanced for that light!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Most likely your monitor is not properly calibrated!. Infact most people's monitors are not properly calibrated!. Another possibility is the white-balance of your camera is off!. This is also quite likely!.Your camera LCD is small and not very high resolution so you wouldn't necessarily be able to see this on the camera if it's only a little off!. Try setting a manual white balance that you know is correct (It should explain this in the manual), if that's not possible, experiment with the different presets!. If that doesn't work, try calibrating your monitor (Or better hae a professional do it at your house)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Your computer's brightness and contrast is to it's highest!.
Gee!. I think THAT is your problem!. Find someone who can turn it down to where it should be!. No offense!. I don't think that your question here gives any the confidence to trust you with this adjustment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
