Gimp 2.8 Control Panels

I have downloaded several iterations of Gimp 2.8, now up to 2.8.6, and all I get is a blank screen with the menu bar at the top (and the Gimp logo in the background). I don't see any of the toolbars or control panels that all tutorials show as being part of Gimp 2.8. The only toolbar I can pull up is the tall narrow one under tools that just has the basic functions of older versions of Gimp. Am I doing something wrong or is there some kind of block on my computer? I'm using Windows 7 64-bit OS. I also have Adaptable Gimp 2.6.10 on my computer - could that be interfering with anything? Thanks for your help. This is my first post on the list.

Just realized I had posted back off-list. Sorry.

You may be having one of these issues:

1. Are you in single-window mode? You can check by going to the menu bar: Windows -> Single Window Mode.

a) if you are, you can open any of the dockable dialogs by going to the menu bar again: Windows -> Dockable Dialogs. Then just choose the ones you want to see. (you can do this anyway, but see below).

b) if you are not, are the dialogs off-screen somewhere? Try going into Single Window mode, and see if your dialogs appear on the sides of your GIMP window.
