Hi,
 
Recently I have been encountering a problem which does not exist before. Whenever I tried to the scale image, and tried to copy & paste, the program will auto shut down. An error message - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly was shown. I would appreciate if you can advise urgently as I got a project deadline to meet. Thank you. Regards

Hello Agnes,

which version of GIMP? The latest stable is 2.6.6. And which operating system? Where/How did you get GIMP?

Without these basic informations, there's not much anyone can do to help you. You might also want to check on the bug tracker at bugzilla.gimp.org if other people have experienced the same problem.

I've been encountering this same problem. I have Gimp 2.6.6 and my operating system is Vista Home Premium (64-bit). Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi, I'm getting this problem all the time, and so are a couple of friends who have installed 2.6.6. Has there been any comment from the Gimp authorities? I wanted to uninstall 2.6.6 and return to 2.6.5 but that version appears not to be available any more. I love Gimp but this is very frustrating.

Are you sure? when I used my favorite search engine with the file name of the window's installer [ "gimp-2.6.5-i686-setup.exe" ] for GIMP 2.6.5 as the search parameter, I found multiple sources from which the Windows installer for GIMP 2.6.5 can be downloaded. In addition, the source code for all GIMP versions is available through the GIMP website.

But you might also take a page from my "playbook": I save nearly every software upgrade I download. A habit, I suppose, going back to my first days of internet use, when I had slow dial-up service, informed by the fact that my first download to about three hours, and it took me multiple attempts to download the complete file. Somehow, after downloading, I botched the file, and trashed the downloaded installer after saving it; when I needed (for reasons I can't recall at this point) to re-install, I had to download again. Last time that happened.

All Windows GIMP releases from 2.0.5 onwards are available on SourceForge's Releases page.

Thanks for your tips here. I've followed a link that was posted in this forum and found 2.6.5. I've uninstalled 2.6.6 and installed 2.6.5 and all seems to be well. Gimp heaven.
