Hi, I'm assuming that you are installing the 2.6.6 version of GIMP (I've seen a handful of problems/reports with that version on Windows but I think mainly on Vista). If that is the case, perhaps you could try going back one version. Here is the page that lists all available windows installers: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075&package_id=250052 And the GIMP+GTK 2.6.5 installer is here: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=121075&filename=gimp-2.6.5-i686-setup.exe&a=4389991 Or, if you want to try again with getting 2.6.6 installed, look in Add/Remove programs and remove GTK and GIMP. Then, rename your GIMP directory (I'm not on Windows, but I think it's in Documents & Settings\.gimp) to something like ".gimp_OLD". Then try installing 2.6.6 again - the GIMP+GTK package: http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=121075&filename=gimp-2.6.6-i686-setup.exe&a=79790231 Oh - and I'm also assuming that you are _not_ using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition - you need the 'x64' version of the installer instead if you are.
