[NEEDED ASAP] GIMP 2.8 Not Accepting My ABR Files

I typically use GIMP 2.6. Computer crashed recently so now I've downloaded 2.8. When I download ABR files into the brushes folder, the program won't start. It wigs out and doesn't work. I copied abr files just fine into my GIMP 2.6. Why is this happening?

I even went so far as to find GIMP 2.6 on the web for download. But the same problem. There are strange 'VBR' files now that didn't used to be in my old brush folder but are suddenly there now.

Can anyone help me out?

(and before anyone blithely tells me 'gimp doesn't accept abr files' my old 2.6 accepted them JUST fine. No fancy converter or anything)

I also am repeatedly receiving an "APPCRASH" error.

No idea. Are there any example ABR files which make this happen? Please provide the url.

Was this GIMP 2.6.12?

There are strange 'VBR' files now that didn't used to be in my old brush folder but are suddenly there now.

VBR is one of GIMP's own brush file formats.

What version was your old 2.6?
