Thank you very much for your help. Actually my PC doesn't perform Hypertreading.
I tryied with GTK+ version 2.6.8 but I have the same result. The window freezes after I have been choosing the new format (e.g. jpg) and I click save. All the window keep gray fonts except the raw describing the new format (jpg in this case) which remains black. I see the clepsydra for few seconds then nothing more. The "save as" window is open but totally inactive.

At what time exactly does it freeze - when opening the save as dialog (before you enter a filename) or after the filename has been entered and you clicked on 'Ok'? > I tryied uninstallint and reinstalling gimp many times, with the > version > 2.2.7 too, but I always have the same problem. There is a new GTK+ version available, 2.6.8. As the component involved here is from GTK+ and usually get some fixes between releases, it would be worthwile to update. > Somebody has some idea for what could be the problem? Another possible reason would be Hyperthreading. Check if it is enabled on your system - both windows and some BIOSes contain bugs related to it, but there are fixes, at least for Win XP (in SP2).
