Molly, if you want to try Gimp in verbose mode under windows you should:
1-enter the command cd C:\ (this will remove the "Users\Molly" from the command prefix, so you will get as an answer. C:\>
2-at this point enter the command "Program Files\Gimp 2\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" --verbose

enjoy...

Thanks dinasset, I will go back over to windows and give it a try.
EDIT: I tried that dinasset and it didn't work either.

Molly, did you check your folders' tree (path)?
Alias:
in your windows system,
1-is the folder for the programs called "Program Files"?
2-is gimp installed in Program files as "Gimp 2"? (in some systems is "GIMP 2" for instance)
3-is the executable called exactly "gimp-2.8.exe" under "bin"?
sorry for the silly questions, but systems may change...
check, is you will do so...

Ok, I will go back to windows. I did get the path from gimp in program folder.

EDIT:
Looks like I have Gimp in both places. I always install programs in Programs(x86) I don't know what this other one is unless it is a portable version. Anyway, I don't know if I should delete the one in Programs or just leave it there, cuz gimp is working fine.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Gimp-2.8
C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8

Molly, as you see, you DO NOT HAVE "Gimp 2" under "Program Files", but "Gimp-2.8"
so you have to change your command accordingly (check also the other components of the path)...

I posted both paths above. Do I need something else in them?
Would I post it this way? "C:\Program Files (x86)\Gimp-2.8.exe" --verbose

No, Molly.
After the program path you have to add "\bin\gimp-2.8.exe"
To be absolutely sure do the following:
-forget the command lines for a while
-enter your C: directory
-follow the path until you reach the executable
-exec it
if gimp start appropriately you know from the top line of your last window the complete correct path; maybe the one under x86, maybe the other, anyhow, when you try again the commands, do as before:
cd C:\
and after (assuming the one with x86 is the correct program folder)
"Program Files (x86)\Gimp-2.8\bin\gimp-2.8.exe" --verbose
(check the capital letters you have in YOUR path)
good luck

Thanks Dinasset. I tried every combination I could think of and it doesn't work. Anyway, I don't have any issues, I don't get any error messages when running Graechan's pattern to image script. Also 99.9 % of the time, I work out of Linux Fedora.
Actually, I was just trying to help Sallyanne with hers but I am getting the same errors as her, so I was no help.
My command prompt just doesn't work for me. in windoze.

I figured I will check my computer's health Molly. Then if all is good I will maybe try another gimp program and get rid of the one I have now. Something I have done may have corrupted it. Most things work fine on it as is but could be that too.
Do you have show hidden files enabled?

Molly, do not give up!
Because the error you get always tells you "the system cannot find the path specified" one thing is for sure:
something is wrong in the string of the path.
Now, try the following, a step by step (attention! I report here MY folders name, so please when trying to repeat, change using YOUR folder names)
1- enter cd C:\
you should get:
1b- C:\>
2- enter cd "C:\Program Files\"
you should get:
2b-C:\Program Files>
3- enter cd "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\"
you should get:
3b-C:\Program Files\GIMP 2>
4- enter cd "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin"
you should get:
4b-C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin>
if up to this point you DO NOT get an error concerning the path, because you are already inside bin, you may enter directly:
5- gimp-2.8.exe --verbose and Gimp will start
If, on the contrary, in one of your previous steps, you get the error about the path entered, you know what part is wrong, correct it, retry and proceed further!

good luck!

@dinasset. I have been working on this for 3 days now, as Graechan pointed out, I had Gimp in Programs(x86) instead of Programs. I deleted Gimp and re-installed into the proper folder.
I tried all kinds of combinations in the command prompt and this is as far as I could get in the attachment below.

I don't see an attachment (or is it just the one line C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8> ?)
Did you try the step by step I suggested?

...assuming your Gimp folder is named Gimp-2.8, what do you get as answer from the system command panel when entering
cd "C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\bin" ?

look under your folder bin, what executable of Gimp do you find? probably it's not called
'gimp-2.8.exe'
but something else
