GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 315623
GIMP crashes on startup or opening files (Windows)
Last modified: 2008-01-15 13:00:09 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Start GIMP 2. If it has not crashed yet, try doing something (for example file -> open or opening a file via drag 'n' drop) Stack trace: Other information: starting gimp the regular splash screen shows up. I think it runs through everything and if it hangs, it's after the splash screen and not while. Sometimes I even get the UI, but I can't open a file or create a new one. The crash is the same: I get a Windows error report (or how it might be called in english). The so-called signature is the same, too: AppName: gimp-2.2.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: icm32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2709 Offset: 0000433c This error is new to me. Gimp did run, I don't know why it doesn't any longer. I had a older version installed, which crashed (it did run some time ago) the same way so I updated The Gimp (and the new version did never run, of course).
What's described in bug #300186 didn't help me. My System is WinXP SP2 with all updates. Graphics Adapter: S3 ProSavageDDR Resolution: 1024x768@32bpp
Yet another duplicate of bug #301139 ?!
I don't think so, because I never read 'pango' in a error message. Also, I don't have to open the open dialog to crash. Might be interesting that Inkscape and Paint.net (worked before) don't work, too. MS-Paint works. Corel Presentations works as well.
This is actually a duplicate of bug #304326 (which is an instance of DLL Hell). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 304326 ***
