Re-installing Gimp very rarely solves anything, 9 times out of 10, Gimp is not
the problem.

What does Gimp **not** uninstall (assuming you used the uninstaller via Windows
menu)

Any plug-in / script that installed itself under the main installation folder ie
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\.....

Your Gimp profile that is created when first running Gimp, 
C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8

To be absolutely certain of a clean install, delete the first and rename the
profile to say, C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak

Try the last one first, rename the Gimp profile, start Gimp and see if the error
persists.
