I get the same thing. So I checked my event logs. I get 0xc0000005 error, To figure out what this is, you drop the 'c' and plug it into net helpmsg. This is what I got
C:\Users\thisisme>net helpmsg 5 Access is denied. So for weeks I tried to think of what it is trying to access. I kept thinking that Vista updated itself and caused the problem with a new version. I think this is partially correct as it did not happen till a while after I installed 2.6.6 Finally, it hit me. Vista gives you grief when you access some parts of the c:\documents and settings folder. So I right-clicked on the gimp-2.6.exe file and said run as administrator. This worked moments ago so I am unsure as to the permanency of the work around. I am posting in the hopes that the developers will see this and correct it on their end
