[Gimp-user] Gimp installs fine but fails to start

2016-11-14 Thread dexterwk
As the title says. I'm on Windows 10 x64. Using the latest installer for 2.8.18. Installation goes smoothly, however when I boot the program it sparks a "has stopped working" message at the "updating tag cache" point. Tried previous version 2.8.16, same thing. Tried installing just the 'compact' in

I've got some 300 fonts, 200 of which are from Windows/Office (I guess) and some 100 from another software package I use. Is that a lot?

Thanks. Tried both but neither worked unfortunately. I still get the "crash" as detailed in my other post. >The customary advice when running Gimp for the first time is > >Do not touch the mouse or keyboard, go have a cup of coffee or go for >a walk until Gimp loads. > >If you have a Gimp profile
