Right you are - or, more to the point, the problem lies with the GIMP installation on your local system. Others may have more relevant ideas, but here's mine: First, does your GIMP installation open other file formats normally (BMP, PNG, etc)? If so, the problem may lie with a file called gimp-jpeg (or maybe gimp-jpg.exe), which may be missing, corrupted, or prevented from running by an error in file permissions. If not, the problem is larger. Either way, I would: 1. Uninstall the GIMP. 2. Do a global file and directory search for the word gimp, and delete all directories found - unless some have your own files in them of course! 3. Download a new copy of the installer at http://www.gimp.org/windows/ and install it. Note: Since you did not specify your operating system, I will assume that it was made by Microsoft. If your normal user account on your local computer is an Administrator account, this is a Very Bad Thing and should be corrected. But just to make certain that the OS is not denying your user account access to some files or directories during installation or operation of the GIMP, you might want to be sure that your user account IS an Administrator account just for the duration of the installation process. If the GIMP works then, it should still work after you convert your user account (back) to Restricted because your user account will still "own" the files created under its reign. I am not a dev or maintainer, your mileage may vary, I didn't do it (nobody saw me, you can't prove anything). But at worst, you will be no worse off for trying the procedure above and it just might work. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
