Because the DLL search path in Windows is roughly "executable directory, Windows\System32, Windows, %PATH%". Unfortunately, GIMP's plug-ins are all individual executables, but they don't reside in the same directory as gimp.exe, and as such look for DLLs in the System32 directory before looking in GIMP's install dir. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
