If you resinstall, make sure you also remove  (or rename it so you can 
carefully move things back later) your existing Gimp profile (in 
Vista/7: C:\users\{your_id}\.gimp-2.8 (or 2.6)).

Maybe the problem is that this Gimp Paint Pro was buillt for Gimp 2.6 
and won't work with 2.8. But there are some very dodgy Gimp versions out 
there, better get in the habit to check forums first before installing 
anything.
