Hi Evan,
though I use GIMP with LINUX, what I really recommend, I will try to
help you.
As I see, the verbose output shows nothing suspicous.
A few questions:
1. Before you killed GIMP in the task manager, what happend? It might be
the same problem why GIMP now doesn't start at all.
2. When installing GIMP new, you should edit the registry before. It's
possible that there is a conflict with a registry entry from the
previous instattation.

Sticky Tag: |
Make Climacs use Drei. There are known problems (apart from the docs now being outdated): * Some syntaxes have not been updated. * Group functionality has been disabled. * It's a large change and Climacs has no test suite. Bugs probably still remain. But it should work nicely most of the time. Otherwise, you'll get a full refund.
Removed the Basic syntax and the `cache' slot in the `climacs-pane' class. Fundamental syntax is now the default. This also required moving some things around, but there has not been any functionality changes.
Major motion and editing functions and commands refactoring (see the thread "paredit.lisp, regularization of motion commands, and more" on climacs-devel for full details). Breakage not found during testing, but still expected.
Changed mark-visibility to region visibility. Turn it on and off with Visible Region, for now.
Changes for running climacs in Allegro Common Lisp with Classic CLIM (tm). This includes a bunch of modern mode-related changes to symbol names and creating symbols and reordering of syntax rules definitions due to different compile-time behavior of defclass. The CLIM changes are suprisingly small
Moved various things from gui.lisp into developer-commands.lisp, file-commands.lisp, misc-commands.lisp (rather large...), search-commands.lisp, unicode-commands.lisp and window-commands.lisp. Also tried to get the .asd right. Additionally, removed "lisp" as a file-type for the Common Lisp syntax.
Factored out cursor display from syntaxes to a display-cursor method on basic-syntax. Also added a display-mark method, a mark-visible-p slot on climacs-pane, and a command com-toggle-visible-mark to turn display of the mark on and off - useful for developing marking commands.
OK, no-one complained too much, so I'm going ahead with the syntax file-type changes discussed in <firstname.lastname@example.com>: DEFINE-SYNTAX's syntax is changed incompatibly.
Improvements to CL syntax in the form of a patch from Andreas Fuchs.
fixed some bugs in balanced comment, fun-expr, vect-expr.line-comment not working as it should be
modified cl-syntax
Corrected most syntactic rules
2nd vers cl-synt
first version cl-syntax.lisp
Line-oriented persistent buffer (binseq2). Warning: Need to fix minor bugs (related to number-of-lines-in-region, I believe). base.lisp: Added faster methods on previous-line, next-line, buffer-number-of-lines-in-region. pane.lisp, cl-syntax.lisp, html-syntax.lisp, text-syntax.lisp: Replaced some calls to make-instance to calls to clone-mark and (setf offset), in order to avoid passing climacs-buffer to marks. This also made possible to get rid of delegating methods on syntax. climacs.asd: Added Persistent/binseq2. packages.lisp: Added binseq2-related symbols. Persistent/binseq.lisp, Persistent/obinseq.lisp: Cleanup. Persistent/persistent-buffer.lisp: Added code for binseq2-buffer and related marks. Also some minor fixes.
Whitespace is no longer considered a syntax element, and is skipped over instead. This makes the incremental lexer even faster.
Improved performance some more by considering line comments to be single entries.
Decreased consing by a third, and improved performance at the same time, by having a single mark and a size instead of two marks in a stack entry.
Changed the contract of clone mark so that the optional argument is either :left or :right forcing the return value to be a left-sticky-mark and a right-sticky-mark respectively. Altered the two calls (in test code) that actually used the optional argument to pass the right thing. Modified the implementation of clone-mark to use constant symbols for the class to instantiate, and made two methods so that the type of the argument will be known statically. Still needed an explicit test for the optional argument, but that is still much faster than using a variable class to make-instance.
Beginning of a Common Lisp syntax that will be extended during the spring by our group of students. For now, it contains an incremental lexer that maintains the entire buffer as a flexichain of `elements', i.e., syntactic elements that are going to be meaningful to the incremental parser.

NEWPORT, R.I. – Andrae Gonzalo, an American designer who was a contestant on the second season of the reality TV show 'Project Runway,' will perform with five Salve Regina dance minors and dancers from Island Moving Company during weekend performances of "Open for Dancing" being held on the university's campus.
Performances will be held at the labyrinth, located on the front lawn of the McKillop Library, Ochre Point and Leroy avenues, on both Saturday, Sept. 21 and Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. The complete schedule is available at www.islandmovingco.org.
"Open for Dancing" brings together musicians, choreographers, professional dancers and dancers from the community to create dances for unique sites. The Salve Regina students will dance at the McKillop Library's meditation labyrinth in a performance choreographed by Deborah Lohse, a teaching artist at the Center for Arts Education and the New York City Ballet.
Salve Regina student performers will include Elizabeth Franson '15, Allyson Hamel '15, Alli Montecillo '14, Rebecca Moscariello '15 and Kayla Tolman '15 – will perform alongside Island Moving Company dancers during this weekend's "Open for Dancing," a festival celebrating community, art and landscape.
Gonzalo is a native of Los Angeles and owned his own boutique called Forget It Jake in the city's Chinatown. Gonzalo attended a private Christian high school in Los Angeles, and graduated in 1999 from Otis College of Art and Design with a bachelor's degree in fashion design. His own fashion label, Andraegonzalo, debuted in the spring 2003.
Since its founding in 2002, "Open for Dancing" has showcased unique Newport landscapes with original dance works created by choreographers such as Monica Bill Barnes, Marta Renzi, Zach Morris, Daniel McCusker and Noemie Lafrance. For 2013, the festival moves out of town for the first time in the collaboration with Providence's Steel Yard.

Dude, I can't believe it's 2013. It isn't so much that time flies and blah blah blah, as the fact that for the first time since I was, I dunno, six, I didn't make it until midnight. The sad part is, we have kept our California schedule the entire time we've been here, so midnight was really like 10pm for us. Who can't stay up until ten at night?
We intended to go out New Year's Eve, but my husband was sick. He started feeling crummy early in the day, and by the afternoon his lips were white and he looked like hell. Still, he drove around to scout dive bars to ring in the year. It didn't happen. By seven in the evening he had on a hoodie and pajamas, and had wrapped himself in a blanket on the couch. We watched Men in Black 3 (don't judge us, we've made our way through everything halfway decent, and it was either that or Battleship), and called it a night right after.
Boy, ain't we some partying fools.
Anyway, prior to that, we did manage to fit in some fun. As part of our 'let's stop ripping each other a new one' agreement, my husband and I decided to take a couple of days and try to do something that didn't involve cleaning or fixing stuff. Notice the word try. We planned on seeing Dale Watson on Sunday night. Well, I wanted to see Dale Watson, my husband was more interested in Chicken Shit Bingo. Apparently they put a bunch of chickens on a board marked with squares and take bets on which chicken will go first.
I thought it sounded disgusting, but my husband reasoned I'd get a post out of it. As it turned out, he got the time wrong, and so we missed the whole thing. I can't say I'm sorry – chickens give me the heebie jeebies. All that pecking makes me nervous.
Speaking of which, we stumbled across this place:
In the main building they had a plethora of stuffed this and that's, stags, bears, wart hogs, snakes, and more animal skins than you could ever imagine, plus a gargantuan pair of horns that cost 20 grand. They were as tall as me. It was quite the scene, complete with a chain smoking owner, which seemed like a terrible idea. Aside from cancer and secondhand smoke, one smoldering ash probably would have lit the place up like a Roman candle.
A surprising amount of people were shopping there, one of which was a little girl frantically digging through boxes of bones and antlers. I don't know what she was looking for exactly, but when she found it, she held the remains up to her mother and shouted in near hysteria, "It's only five bucks!!"
Over the weekend we went with my dad to see Hitchcock, which, if you're interested and haven't seen it, was pretty good. It seemed only fitting that we ran into this afterward while in the parking lot of the grocery store.
They were everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Tens of thousands of birds apparently decided this was the place to be, they swooped around, and made all sorts of racket, which of course meant my husband had to stop and take pictures. Did I mention it isn't just chickens that give me the creeps? I really, really dislike birds, and so while he snapped pics I crouched Tipi Hedren-style and told my man to hurry the hell up. If someone is going to get doused with bird droppings, it's going to be me. I blame the 80s for my bird hate. Remember when everyone had those high, teased, horrible bangs? Yeah, I had those too, in the fourth and fifth grade. It wasn't my best look. Once, while hanging out with my friends in the courtyard outside at school, a bird dropped a perfectly aimed load right onto my hair sprayed bangs. It sort of spread across my shellacked pouf like an outer shell of bird poo, which more or less cemented my lifelong dislike of birds.
Huh. Clearly, I lost any thread of cohesiveness in this post a few paragraphs back, so let me end by saying I am totally psyched about the new year. I won't go all resolution-y on you, but I do promise to get back to my regularly scheduled blog posts now that the holidays are over.
Happy New Year homies!
