Welcome to the wonderful world of Windoze troubleshooting.  The
problem was probabaly a missing or corrupted registry entry caused
by a general Microsoft f***up or an error by a registry cleaner
tool.  Or, the folks who wrote the uninstaller script may have
failed to anticipate some detail of your local system configuration.

Anyway, glad to hear that you are up and GIMPing again!
