What should I give a lot of time - the open/save proces? But the "not responding" only take some seconds and disappear if I cllick on the function again.

I don't remember the details, but the BIOS can sometimes define a pseudo/legacy diskette drive which isn't there. So for Windows there is a "A:" drive but when you try to access it it hangs for a long time. The result in Gimp is that the file selector dialog is v..e..r..y... ...s..l..o...w to appear.

I have this: C:\Users\Hanne\AppData\Roaming\GIMP which seems to be the entire app.

I also have this: C:\Users\Hanne\AppData\Local\GIMP\2.10

I am not sure where I should find the profile file ( I have read the whole guide). I do not have any private scripts or anything personal.

The profile contains files called sessionrc, pluginrc, gimprc (among others), and directories called scripts, plugins, brushes...

OK - I have found the files and the directories. But does this mean, I shall rename the directories

Files:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\etc\gimp\2.0\sessionrc
C:\Users\Hanne\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\sessionrc

C:\Users\Hanne\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\pluginrc
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\etc\gimp\2.0\gimprc

Directories:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\lib\python2.7\Tools\scripts
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts


I would be very happy with a solution witout entering BIOS. My computer has just be inaccessible for 1½ weeks

Best regards, Again..

I forgot som of the directories. Will be back soon.

HI am sorry I forgot something. I hope, the following is what you need:

Plugins:
There are so many of these, but they are located like this: C
:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\locale\af\LC_MESSAGES\gst-plugins-base-1.0.mo

Brushes:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\gimpressionist\Brushes
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\mypaint-data\1.0\brushes

C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\menus\mypaint-brushes-menu.xml
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\menus\brushes-menu.xml

When accessing the file system from within Gimp, this bug would kick in and cause Windows to not respond for a few minutes. Ofnuts is just wondering if this old bug is affecting your system.

The Gimp app is installed here: C:\Program Files\Gimp 2

C:\Users\Hanne\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10  is your user profile. All the plug-ins, fonts, etc that you add go into the appropriate folder in your user profile. If your user profile gets messed up you can disable it by renaming it (ie it becomes a backup). Gimp will create a new, empty user profile.

Super - thanks a lot.

I try that, but I had not seen your answer.

I'll get back to you.

Later:

I tried renaming that folder, the profile, but unfortunately with no effect.

What next doctor Watson
