GIMP Version: 2.8.4
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7 Home Premium
GIMP Experience: Beginner Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
NA

List any ERROR messages you received:
GNU Image Manipulation Program has stopped working



Can happen whenever I load a picture or start working on it. As I said in the title it doesn't always happen. I was able to just work on a photo. I have restored my computer at least twice in the last year. I don't want to have to do that again if I don't have too. I run an Anti virus once a day. Also Spybot regularly.

sallyanne: i'm no expert on this but my gimp was shaky and unstable for a period last year, crashing a lot. what i did was: 1. first look over what i had installed and remove any newly installed scripts and plug-ins, then clean out among my brushes, patterns, gradients, etc. so the folders weren't so cluttered. that helped - i still don't know exactly what caused the crashes but my gimp was stable again.

At the moment it is all the time when I go to open photos even as small as 49kb. Just incase it was the program I uninstalled it and installed another. Still it is happening. Only thing I haven't tried that I can think of is try a portable gimp on here. Is quite annoying as I can't do any thing I would like to do on gimp at the moment.

With 7 are possible problems of permission, try this
instead then launch normally by double click RIGHT click on gimp exe (or on the icon ) and chose RUN AS ADMIN
