Anything is possible, expecially in windows environment.  What exactly is
"Adaptable Gimp" as that name is foriegn, gimp is gimp.

First thing I would try is *completely* removing "Adaptable Gimp",
including its personal configuration files.  Remove *all* of gimp also.

Then reinstall gimp and see what you get.

gud luk,
