Every time I try and use the python layer effects it locks up the thoughts on entire program and I have to shut it down and reopen it.

I just checked and I don't have Layerfx 2.8.py installed. And I haven't made any changes to my computer recently

I meant are you using layerfx.py or layerfx.2.8.py, as layerfx.2.8.py is a bit buggy

I did just notice that I have LayerFx.py in my script folder and plugins folder. Should I delete one and if so which one?

LayerFx.py doesn't go into your scripts folder, so you can remove that one.

LayerFx.py is a plugin and should be in your plugins folder, layerfx.scm though is a script and should be in your scripts folder and having both is not a problem

I don't recommend Layfx-2.8 either, it is one big pain, unless you want to work with all those groups of layers.

Is it in your jeanniem\plug-ins\ and make sure you reboot your Gimp

I would remove it altogether and get another LayerFx.py file and place it into your plugins folder.

Check the properties of layerFx.py to make sure the file permission is executable.

You don't need permissions with Windows, just linux.

Do any of your python plugins work? Try making a new document any size. Go to filters>render>clouds>fog. Just wait for the dialog to appear and click ok and see if it works. Foggify is a default GIMP PYTHON plugin and if it doesn't work then your \lib\gimp\2.0\python OR if 64 bit install GIMP 2\32\lib\gimp\2.0\python folder may be corrupted.
