:cry: When I attempt to run gimp on windoze xp, most things fai to loadl due to a problem with linpangowin32-1.0-0.dll. I notice that the following file: libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll.off is in the system32 folder - does this block the correct dll? Also I run a number of other programs which use this dll including freeciv (latest stable) and others, could the differing versions used by these programs be causing the failure? I have struggled with this problem for over a year by upgrading gtk & gimp as soon as new releases are available, but to no avail. HEEELLLP!

what is the problem? Is it not finding the file or not finding an entry point? Does GIMP start and crash or start and look ugly?
If GIMP starts, but crashes or has visual issues, try compiling this program and running it both in the GIMP bin/ folder, and somewhere else (like on your desktop) to see if there is a different version:
EDIT: The program now checks all available version info

Code: (C)
