Do you have a 32bit system or 64bit
Where did you download your version of gimp from?
These questions could help to figure out what the problem may be.

Is it the first time you run Gimp? Then give it time, especially if you have a large number of fonts installed (20-30 minutes aren't uncommon). The time it runs it sets itself up and this takes time.

If you have an antivirus, you can also disable it temporarily, or tell it to leave Gimp alone (as well as all executables installed with it).
