When reinstalling a program on Windows 7 to get rid of a configuration
error or a glitch in a configuration file, first "uninstall" the
program, then find the folder where the program stores its data and
delete that folder before reinstalling the program.

I'm not sure that will help in your present situation, but if the
problem is an error of some kind in a GIMP configuration file, deleting
the folder the config files live in before reinstalling should fix it.
