The SP3 requirement was for M$ WindowsXP Check your computer using Control Panel -> System & Security -> See the name of this computer Which should get you an information panel as the attached screenshot. My advice, Make sure you get the Gimp installation file from www.gimp.org Do not try and install using any of the Windows 'legacy' options, just run the installer, just use the default settings for locations etc. A short video on installation, uses Win10 but Win7 is exactly the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klV_1PslFG4 Of course you might have already done all that, in which case give details of your exact installation and computer. Maybe someone can help.
