Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

Hi Evan, though I use GIMP with LINUX, what I really recommend, I will try to help you. As I see, the verbose output shows nothing suspicous. A few questions: 1. Before you killed GIMP in the task manager, what happend? It might be the same problem why GIMP now doesn't start at all. 2. When inst

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

O.K. I think, before Evan installs GIMP again, he should be sure that the previous installation is cleared totally. I forgot one thing. in his User-Directory a GIMP-directory is created containing his personal GIMP-profile. If a new try also fails, he could create a new user profile on windows and

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

Hi Bernd, Gimp originally hung up when I accidentally tried to save a VERY large file. After waiting a few minutes I used the Task Manager to end the Gimp process. i tried restarting Gimp immediately and the startup error occurred exactly as it has ever since. I don;t think I loaded any other soft

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

I haven't been following this thread too closely, but have you tried renaming the profile directory? I'm guessing something in there is corrupt, causing the hang. On XP it's: C:\Documents and Settings\[your_username_here]\.gimp-2.6 (Could also be .gimp-2.7) I'd rename that (".gimp-2.6-back

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

That was what I have mentioned before: To be more exact: In your user-directory there is a GIMP-directory with your specifed GIMP-Profile You can either rename or delete it. Gimp will try then to create a new one. If that doesn't work, You can create a new user-profile in your windows XP-installat

[Gimp-user] Grid Spacing

Hello. I am a very new GIMP user. I will use it for preparing images for use as models for artists paintings. The one thing that I like most about this application is the ability to print a grid on the output image (rather than just providing a screen grid). However. Is there any chance that ins

Re: [Gimp-user] gimp startup failure

Bernd gets a gold star! Creating a new User Account worked. But now I am left with the quandary of whether to migrate all usage to the new account or try to troubleshoot this user account. I did delete the C:\Documents and Setting\ [username]\.gimp-2.6 folder and all of it's contents several times
