Hi gazza, welcome to gimp-forum.net
The usual advice is
In windows, reinstalling Gimp rarely fixes anything. The problem is usually elsewhere.
Try disabling your gimp profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 to say C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8-bak Reinstalling Gimp does not change your gimp profile.
Start Gimp up and see if the errors still occur.
1. If no errors, start moving plugins, scripts and brushes from the old folders to the new one at a time. Leave themes until everything still works.
2. If you do still get errors then it is more difficult, you have to look at what has changed in Windows between working and not working. New applications, Windows updates, virus scanner updates.
