What version of libexif are you using?  This bug, or at least something very similar, has been reported several times.  See e.g. bug 339299, bug 138238, and bug 300186, with everything pointing to a faulty version of libexif.
Comment 2 Paul Leeuwerke 2006-06-02 17:53:57 UTC 
How do I find out what version of libexif I am using?
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2006-06-02 18:02:19 UTC 
Look for a file named something like libexif-10.dll in GIMP's bin directory, e.g. C:\ProgramFiles\GIMP-2.0\bin\libexif-10.dll
Comment 4 Paul Leeuwerke 2006-06-04 06:49:29 UTC 
I found the file libexif-10.dll,with a digital signature by Jernej Simoncic, signed 14 April 2006 21:26:25, version V2,
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2006-06-04 15:56:37 UTC 
Yeah, that sounds like the buggy version.  Could you follow the steps in bug 300186 comment 40 to try to upgrade that file to a newer version and see if that fixes the bug for you?
Comment 6 Paul Leeuwerke 2006-06-04 18:30:24 UTC 
Followed the instructions - now GIMP is reporting that jpeg.exe - unable to locate component. The application has failed to start because libexif-10.dll was not found.
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2006-06-05 19:03:28 UTC 
Well, I know nothing about Windows and only a little about the GIMP so here's where I let a GIMP developer take over.  :)
Comment 8 Sven Neumann 2006-06-06 07:17:55 UTC 
Since this is obviously another incarnation of the nonfamous libexif problem, I am marking this report as a duplicate.
