It looks like your problem is something wrong with MS Vista more than with the GIMP. I made a remark to the effect that the "right" way to fix that is to install "an operating system that works" and Ubuntu is an example of that. The Cinnamon version of Mint is more so, lately. Both are free to download and install. > /Anyways/, re-downloading 2.6 didn't help, and I got the same error message > as before. Reinstalling the previous version of the GIMP really should have worked, and since it did not, this tends to rule out a bug in the newer version as the source of the problem. This looks like the operating system, not the GIMP that's causing the problem. There are too many tings that could be going wrong, for us to make any more useful suggestions about how to get the GIMP running on your system. > Should I just wait for updates for 2.8., or?

There is no reason to believe that the next version of the GIMP will work for you, until the computer itself has been repaired. > And to tell the truth, I know that people usually don't insert this into > their problems here, but I'm just really confused and a little frustrated > with all the suggestions, I can only process so much.

Not sure, so... might not reply to this > discussion for a bit :/ Fixes that involve installing an operating system are normal for some of us, but if you don't have the experience to do that it's not a practical answer. Since you seem to really need an image editor, the best thing I can suggest at this point is to start looking for an honest repair shop. :o/ Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
