a none existing floppy drive? I'm working on a laptop - it never had a floppy
drive. are you saying its BIOS definitions? I'll check into that.
  
there is an error message appearing, with all the gimp windows as they were,
with an OK button on it.
i press "ok" and then it shows a dialogue saying: 
"GNU Image manipulating program has stopped working    a problem caused the
program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you
if a solution is available."
with a "close program" button. 
I press the button and that's all. Gimp is closed.
