GIMP 2 Problem

Hi out there !!!

I do hope someone can be of assistance.

I have downloaded and installed GIMP 2.8 on my desktop machine. When I click the icon the blue frame of the GIMP start-up window momentarily appears and then disappears.
Nothing else then happens - no error message nor any form of a message appears!

My desktop system runs on Windows XP SP3, with all the latest updates, etc. installed.
The anti-virus software currently installed - Windows Security Essentials. I uninstalled the anti-virus program totally, re-installed GIMP 2.8, to no avail.

My Laptop computer runs with Windows 7 (64 bit). I downloaded and installed GIMP 2.8 - it is running perfectly!!

What can possibly cause this anomaly?? Where do I begin???

Regards to all.

Not too familiair with the current Windows versions but IIR there is a "gimp-console.exe" that can be use to start Gimp in a command prompt and lets you check for error messages (also IIRC, this version is meant for batch processing, it doesn't create windows)

Without further information I have no clue what causes this anomaly on your Windows XP computer and I've never faced such problems on Windows XP myself.
Please post the output of 'gimp --verbose' and then let's see. You find a short howto in the [GIMP developer wiki]. If the output is more than ca. 10 KB, please post the output somewhere else and add a link here.

What color depth does your graphics card use?

Could it also be another case of [bug 692882]?

Kind regards,

Sven
