[Gimp-user] Help

[Liparis]

Hi,
I've just downloaded the latest Gimp for the first time. However, I'm very
frustrated. All I get when I open Gimp is a big empty box, no tools of any sort.
It looks nothing like the screen shots in the manual! Along the top of the box
are the menus but that's all. When I open a photograph in it, it appears as a
small thumbnail that I'm unable to do anything with. Also, by default, when
looking for images, it is set to recognise "All Files" but it doesn't do so, I
have to select a different file then choose all files again to see the images.
Hope you can help, I'm becoming extremely frustrated!
Many thanks.

The docks are likely just hidden - try the Tab key when the image window
has the focus, or use the Windows->Hide docks menu entry.

1. I hope you downloaded GIMP from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ .

2. What is your system: operating system, version, CPU, CPU architecture,
versions, etc.

3. Can you provide a screenshot of your screen when GIMP is running? You can use
http://imgur.com/ to share it online (or any other site that does not require
JavaScript to be enabled for its images to be viewed).

4. Did you try running GIMP in a new operating system user account?

Regards,

Shlomi Fish
