problem getting the thing to work

I am having an EXTREME AMOUNT OF TROUBLE getting this stupid thing to work. 1 I downloaded version 2.6.5 and opened it. It wouldn't run. It gave an error box but did not explain what the error was.

2 Somebody told me they thought it was because I have windows 2000. The web page says windows 2000 is ok.

3 I downloaded 2.4.0 and it wouldn't work.

4 I downloaded 2.2.17 and it wouldn't work.

Could I get some help with this??

What installer are you using? Exact link please. Exactly what does the error message you get say?

We would have to know what the error was. Can you post a screenshot?

When you say "doesn't work" what exactly happened, and what did you expect to happen?

Just a guess:
Did you install GTK+ manually? That shouldn't be necessary any more with GIMP 2.6.x, but old GTK+ installations might mix badly with the one provided with the GIMP installer.
