I have downloaded several iterations of Gimp 2.8, now up to 2.8.6, and
all I get is a blank screen with the menu bar at the top (and the Gimp
logo in the background). I don't see any of the toolbars or control
panels that all tutorials show as being part of Gimp 2.8. The only
toolbar I can pull up is the tall narrow one under tools that just has
the basic functions of older versions of Gimp. Am I doing something
wrong or is there some kind of block on my computer? I'm using Windows 7
64-bit OS. I also have Adaptable Gimp 2.6.10 on my computer - could that
be interfering with anything?

Before that, try hitting "Tab" (hides/shows all
active docks) or adding in the control panels from "windows->dockable
dialogs (or similar, don't have a gimp around here)"
