Gimp won't start without warnings

I downloaded the latest versions of Gimp and it's GTK, but everytime I open it, it stops halfway through loading the program and tells me that it can't find a file called 'libgimp-2.0-0.dll' and that re-installing might fix it. I tried re-installing like the rest of the message said, but the problem persists.
Also; I can keep clicking until it loads Gimp, but I think something's missing: I can't open bitmaps or jpegs or any other picture format I confirmed on in the installation.
Please and thank you.

I have that problem if I try to launch Gimp from within another application, but not from
a shortcut (WinXPsp2). I don't see why this dll is not getting picked up; it seems to be
in the same location as all other files for Gimp.
