Gimp portable

GIMP Version: 2.6.11
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7 Pro
GIMP Experience: Intermediate Level

I don't usually use my portable gimp but I tried the other day and realized that it won't open or work on anything except XCF files. I'm using 2.8.4 but I tried using 2.7 and neither will open anything except xcf. I might have gotten a corrupt copy of Gimp but I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem.

GMS try removing the user/gimp-2.8 folder and restart gimp.Don't delete it just move it out of the user folder.

it would happen this situation when GIMP's folder contain double bytes character in my system
but maybe your situation is not the same with me

I don't know why it says I'm using 2.6.11, I'm using 2.8.4

You are not using my portable are you? This cannot happen with my portable unless you mess with gimprun.
