XP sp3, Gimp hangs after a while

On Windows XP, this may have started after I upgraded to sp3 about a month ago.

I'm going along using Gimp, everything is working fine, and then it hangs/freezes, - have to use the Task Manager to shut it down.

I haven't noticed any pattern/triggering event that causes it to hang. I've used Gimp for years, this just started happening.

I upgraded to the latest Gimp, 2.6.10, - that didn't help, the problem still happens.

Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks! Vicki

I am on SP3 and Gimp 2.6.10 and they seem to coexist well. Change the shortcut to start Gimp with the --verbose parameter. This will add a console window with various messages. See if Gimp seems to be doing the same thing every time it crashes.
