Re: [Gimp-user] Error
Did you ever check the amount of storage left on the drive? Do you have an updated antivirus software?/Infected? Did you keep Windows updated? The problem with older computers is there's a lot of stuff on them, over a long period of time. Maybe it's a conflict with another program or hardware that used C++ and now there's a conflict with Gimp? Have you been able to install any other software other than Gimp since? Not to be self inflating, but the thing about restoring the computer back to a point previous to installing Gimp was I believe the best advice. (I have had tons of used computers over the years and a thousand such dilemmas. Sometimes the fallback position is best.) Or as I said getting everything you need off the drive, and running the factory restore discs that came with the computer? But then again, it'll have to all be updated. Then again, Vista's nothing to write home about. Win 7 much better. Search Windows 7 upgrade on ebay and right now there are win 7 or 8 versions for like 30+ bucks. Seriously, I had Vista. It stunk. But you have to look up your computer model and know whether it's 32 or 64 bit version. Dan On 11/14/12, Sleepingbeautiie for...@gimpusers.com wrote: 'Ight. Maybe I can ask mum to get the upgrade as an early Christmas gift, hah. But yeah, I'll see what I can do, 'cause way earlier I cleared a bunch of programs off of my computer to see if it'd help with Gimp... . Then again I might just be getting my laptop fixed in time for Christmas instead. Thank goodness for Picmonkey, though. I can wait with Gimp xD Though, I just re-installed Gimp 2.8 (which I've been using for the past few months); per se, it loads fine/fast the first time, but when I have to close it/load it again it loads slower and gives me that C++ Error and stuff, so.

Re: [Gimp-user] Error
Yeah, decided to re-submit this thing again... lol. Basically, every time I load gimp, it opens for me, ect; but when I close it (to throw some brushes in, ect) it loads slower, and then it gives me a C++/Library whatever error... But I'm going to install 2.7.1 to see how it works now, since I've cleaned out my computer of some files that seemed to be clogging up the space. Either my desktop is just old, or.. lol. I'unno. :/ And if someone's gonna answer, please let it be related to this discussion. Don't let someone run by and acclaim their own problem in /my/ discussion when they can perfectly create a thread themselves.

It's always possible that a brush or a font that you add might make gimp go wrong. Liam To be honest, I'm not really sure. But I do know that there were quite a few brushes that I didn't really need, so that could be the problem too; after the error came around, I cleaned out all the brushes and fonts I didn't need, and then I cleaned out all the other programs that took up too much space, so... . I mean, I might try re-loading 2.7., since people told me that 2.8 probably had a few bugs in it :/ -- Sleepingbeautiie (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

I mean, I'll try and follow what Steve said, but.. then again I might just save my brushes into a folder and then revert back to 2.6 to see if that works. You should move any brushes that didn't come with GIMP itself. If you've done this already, did anything change? Note that blindly (re-)installing any version of GIMP won't solve the problem if anything you have added is causing this. Well, yeah, I have moved all brushes that never came with gimp into an entirely diff. folder, so... I mean, what do you think? Would it work if, say, I uninstalled GIMP entirely, waited about a month or two (I can cope) and then try again? -- Sleepingbeautiie (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

This is an interesting error - since the number is quite small (a bit less than 17 MB), GIMP seems to actually be running out of memory. Is your Windows 32 or 64-bit? How big is the image you're working on (both it's dimensions, and the number of layers it has are important)? And, how much memory and swap does the machine have? I have no idea... and running out of memory? ._. That's... a bad thing, isn't it? I'm not working on any images - I haven't been able to access GIMP for three, four days, now, so...

I'm looking through all my folders now, but there doesn't seem to be a problem. Is your Windows set to use 16-bit colour mode? There's a known problem with GTK+ if that's the case - change Windows to 32-bit colours. How do you do that? I mean, do I go to control panel? I really don't know what the problem is, but if it helps I use Windows Vista/desktop. Yes; from Windows Vista Control Panel: - from default view: Adjust screen resolution (under the Appearance and Personalization section) or - from classic view: Personalization then Display Settings Either will bring up the Display Settings where you can set the colour depth from the drop-down under Colors. If you have multiple monitors, you might need to set it separately for each one. After click Apply or OK to apply changes, you'll need to click Yes before the timer expired when prompted for whether to keep the new settings. If that seems a bit odd, there is a sensible reason - changing display settings incorrectly can prevent anything from being displayed at all, making it difficult to change them back, so if the screen does go blank or scrambled you just need to wait 15 seconds for the timer to expire and it should go back to how it was before. Mark. All right, thanks, I'll try that when I get the time; if it doesn't work, I'll come back and see if there's any other kinda solution. -- Sleepingbeautiie (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
