I have the same problems With Gimp 2.4.2 on a Vista Ultimate.
The former versions did work correctly.
I hate to say it but i immediatly intalled a second operating system on the
same machine:
linux Ubuntu 7.10.

I 'v a multiple boot and Ubuntu is as easy to use as any Windows system.

But if there is someone who knows how to install without errors i' m
interested.


Bye
