Without further information I have no clue what causes this anomaly on
your Windows XP computer and I've never faced such problems on Windows
XP myself.
Please post the output of 'gimp --verbose' and then let's see.
You find a short howto in the [GIMP developer wiki].
If the output is more than ca. 10 KB, please post the output
somewhere else and add a link here.

What color depth does your graphics card use?

Could it also be another case of [bug 692882]?

Kind regards,

Sven
