I have downloaded Gimp and tried to open the program. It will not open and displays the message: "The application failed to initialize properly (0x000001d)." I have downloaded it twice and both times it has done the same thing.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Did you just installed Gimp or did you just updated it recently ?
Try to uninstall it before reinstall.

I uninstalled it completely and then reinstalled it, but it still wouldn't start.

Hello jtrappen.
What is your OS ?
Can you try to launch gimp in "verbose" mode.
In LiberKeyMenu, right click on the shortcut Gimp, "Shortcut properties...", tab "Advanced",
in "Parameters" put --verbose , apply then launch Gimp.
A windows console should appear. What is contents when the crash occurs ?

My OS is Vista Home Premium. I put --verbose in the perimeters as you suggested. I clicked apply and then tried to open Gimp. The same message as stated above appeared again.
