Glib-Error

Using WinXP SP3. Downloaded and installed gimp-2.6.8-i686-setup.exe. When
trying to open it I get GLib-ERROR**:This version of GLib requires NT-based
Windows.
I have never seen this problem before. How do I get gimp to run on my
computer?
Thanks,
Nathan

Looks like you set compatibility mode on gimp-2.6.exe for some reason -
right-click it, choose Properties and disable any compatibility settings.

How do I get to the Properties if gimp doesn't even open?

Never mind I found it! It was set for Windows 95 compatibility. It works fine
now.
Many thanks,

The compatibility settings are not set in gimp itself, it is a windows
setting. You right click on the GIMP shortcut, go to properties and
set it from there.

Do you know why it had been set to Windows 95?
