GIMP Version: 2.8.4
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7 pro 64
GIMP Experience: Basic Level

List any ERROR messages you received:
dll, Ufraw, jpg, too many to list


I have recently installed 2.8.4 and I receive no less than 16 errors on start up. It eventually opens however it will literally not open any file types whatsoever. Most errors elude to missing files. I have been running some version of Gimp over the last ten years with very little trouble. In this case I have no idea where to start. I have uninstalled, fixed the registry and reinstalled. I have also tried to go back to 2.6.4. Now this version has similar issues.. Any help is greatly appreciated..

Update: I did eventually get 2.6.1 to work again. I would love to run the latest version.

I suspect that you have a lot of obsolete, missing or duplicate files from previously installed plugins in your .gimp-2.8 user folder.
Can you do one more thing? Move out or rename .gimp-2.8 folder to _gimp-2.8. Start gimp again. It will re-create virgin-new .gimp-2.8 folder. See if there are any error messages now. Make snapshots of every error message and we will go from there.
I hope you have not installed yet any 3rd party plugins in Program Files directory? If this is the case you have to re-install gimp again.

Thank you very much! As it turns out, I left a bunch of old Gimp folders sitting in the user folder. 2.4, 2.6 and the 2.8 folders. I followed your advice. I got a few less errors. From this I moved all of the old folders and now it's working... :tyspin
