Marci - I am a newbie with Gimp, but I might be able to help with the
windows issues.
When ofnuts said As far as I remember the Gimp Windows installation is
all under the Gimp installation tree I think he meant it is all in the
C:\Program Files directory - so you could pretty much delete the GIMP
sub-directory (in my case, it's C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0) and
everything would be gone. You might want to rename it and leave it there
for a while, so you can put it back if things get worse. At some point,
you would also want to delete the entries from the Start Menu - for
Vista, look in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\GIMP.
But - here's a couple of other things to do first:
- if you don't know for sure where your daughter downloaded Gimp from,
then a virus scan might be a good idea. Maybe she got a version that was
infected from a virus. Or maybe she downloaded something else besides Gimp.
- You said ... the location of the Gimp folder on the c drive? I did
go out there and try to uninstall or delete from there, but when I do so
now, I get a message that the path refers to a location that is
unavailable. Where did you go, specifically, and what did you do to get
that error message? You should not get that if you were just DELETING
gimp, rather than uninstalling.
- often you can fix a partial install or uninstall problem by doing a
new install. That should overlay a clean installation copy over whatever
you have, and then an uninstall may work. Now, some windows programs
insist on uninstalling first as part of their install process. If Gimp
does that, you may have a problem. But you can give it a try. Do a fresh
download of Gimp first.
If you need more help, please specify what version of Windows you use -
XP, Vista, Windows 7 - and whether it is 32bit or 64bit.
Good luck!
Dan
