If you are using Windows, you can find a Windows Installer for the GIMP here:

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

It's a free program, doesn't need registering or anything.

You should just install it , run it , it will load and the windows for the program will appear. It's pretty straightforward, unless it didn't install correctly.

You should also try the GIMP Documentation section:

http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/GimpDocs

:)

Hope this helps,

Med

Hm, make sure you uninstall it fully before reinstalling it. Should start up fine - check if the gimp.exe process is starting but the program is not - or whether it's just not starting at all.

Did you install both the GIMP and the Runtime Environment?

Ah.. haha

You need to download 'The Gimp for Windows (version 2.0.5)' as well as the runtime environment. One is the program- one is the environment needed to run.

Get those and you'll be right :)

It means its illegal. Why steal photoshop when you have The Gimp for free?
