Since my daughter installed it, Partha, I dont know which version it is. And as I mentioned, I tried to uninstall it, both from the Control Panel and also from the Gimp tree in the directory, and the uninstall process kept crashing the computer. That was the issue. Fortunately, everything is resolved now. Thanks!
