Marie, Some relevant questions:
Where did you get the 2.6.8 package you installed? Did you use the Windows installer, or did you try to build your own WIN XP version from source? If you attempted to build from source, it looks like you might have an incorrect version of one of the supporting packages. Are you running 32 or 64 bit WIN XP? Meantime, if it were me, I'd 1) unistall GIMP, and back up data on your system; 2) visit the MS website, and upgrade your WIN XP from SP2 to SP3; 3) download a fresh copy of the WIN 2.6.8 installer by following the links on the download page on the GIMP website. regards ns _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
