I've been using Gimp for a while on my Windows XP machines, but recently I got
two new PCs, both running Windows 7 64 bit.
Gimp appears to install fine, but when I run it, it hangs on "querying plugins:
shift.exe". And when I say hang, it's a serious hang - I can't open any other
programs (eg the Chrome browser), and the only solution is to shut down the PC.
Both the laptop and my desktop PC are pretty new - they don't have much stuff
on them yet - and they both hang at this point, so I haven't been able to run
Gimp at all.
Anyone else had this problem?
Any suggestions very welcome - thanks in advance!
shift.exe corresponds to a plugin that isn't much used as far as I know
(Filters/Distorts/Shift), so at least as a temporary measure you can
disable it (rename to shift.exe.disabled) and see if Gimp becomes
functional (if so I suspect your Gimp installer to be corrupt, because
this plugin is fairly basic and doesn't do anything that other plugins
don't).
