Sounds to me like you're overexposing your film.  Try bracketing.
Also, to avoid screen flicker, take a relatively long exposure in a
very dark room.  The exposure that's right for you will, of course,
depend on your particular monitor, but 0.5 second at f/8 (I assume
you're using 35mm film and a 50mm lens) should be a good starting
place with Kodachrome 64 film.  Use a good tripod and cable release.

I've had no trouble, using the standard Kodak processing.

If this still doesn't work, you may want to change your monitor's
color balance.  I've heard that some people turn up the red "a little".
