Try using Gimp-win-remote. I had a similar problem and this works for me.
It can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-win-remote

You will need to alter the registry as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\gimp-win-remote]
@="gimp-2.4.exe"
(as described in the  Readme file.)

Good luck!
