[Gimp-user] No "use gradient" checkbox

[subeeds <forums gimpusers com>]

I'm using Windows7 Home Premium. I'm new to GIMP. I was following one of the tutorials to get used to GIMP 
and I don't have a check box by the gradient box so I can "use color from gradient". Here's a link to a 
screen shot I took.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled the program, but that didn't help. Suggestions or work arounds would be 
appreciated.
