To you Gimp experts,
after several tests, I can confirm that: I'm talking of Samj versions.
Changing the Gimp.exe file with one older version so that Samj's Gimp 3.0.2 version would start working, didn't work.
By mistake, I changed EN.exe from the previous version to the new Gimp 3.0.2 version. To my surprise, the program started working.
I don't understand why, but that's how it is.
Thank you for all the help you've given me. Now I'm happy to have the program working with the new version.
Thank you, :tyspin

That's wonderful Issabella!
:clap

The first launch of the portable version is very slow (nothing even appears for up to 1 minute), which can confuse users. :geek

I have sent the diagnosed information about the problem detected by Wallace to Samj (maybe she will read my comment). :roll:

Thanks Wallace, your wise help was guide for a solution :tyspin

MareroQ, yes, I wish she can read your comment. Your idea and my mistake solved the problem. :hehe

(thanks MareroQ)
I was so disappointed with getting the new version, I couldn't understand it, as before it had never been so difficult for me.

You're most welcome Issabella.
Samj has always been my preferred and reliable source,
for obtaining the latest portable GIMP app.
I often test and use a few of the portable versions myself,
before committing to a full installation.
Simple straightforward testing can something lead to the most favorable results.
This is something I would have done anyway,
only because I can and it's habit.

. . .

The "guru" that Issabella has mentioned.
Is actually a collective knowledge that arises from the combined contributions,
and experiences of multiple individuals within this small community.
