XP sp3, Gimp hangs after a while

On Windows XP, this may have started after I upgraded to sp3 about a month
ago.

I'm going along using Gimp, everything is working fine, and then it
hangs/freezes, - have to use the Task Manager to shut it down.

I haven't noticed any pattern/triggering event that causes it to hang. I've
used Gimp for years, this just started happening.

I upgraded to the latest Gimp, 2.6.10, - that didn't help, the problem still
happens.

Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks! Vicki

I am on SP3 and Gimp 2.6.10 and they seem to coexist well. Change the
shortcut to start Gimp with the --verbose parameter. This will add a
console window with various messages. See if Gimp seems to be doing the
same thing every time it crashes.

Is GIMP an adequate application for you to create printed graphics like flyers, advertisments etc?
