So, I've had GIMP for a good while now (well, not a year or such, but for a good amount of time :P) and haven't used it in a week since school kept me from doing my usual banner making.  I went to open it up, and it loaded halfway but froze.  It became unresponsive, froze up my entire computer, and in the end, I had to manually shut my computer off by hitting the power button.  Whenever I try, it becomes unresponsive.  I've looked it up and it says it's likely the font folder thing taking too long to load, but that folder is empty as my computer has a very smal selection of fonts to chose from.  GIMP's the program I usually use, so I have no clue what to do now.
 
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? XD
 
I have a Windows XP, if that has anything to do with it, though I doubt it as it worked fine in the past.

Try reinstalling it. That's what you do with most software when it screws up and you could get a newer version of it too. Also, don't run any other software when opening it. I don't use GIMP but this is what I normally do if other software screws up.

I uninstalled and installed the newer version while everything was closed.  Still didn't have any change.  XD  It got a little farther in loading though, so that's better.

How on earth can you read this if you don't have any fonts in your font folder? o.O

I think you deleted the wrong fonts xD

I mean the fonts in teh control panel folder. Y'know, control panel >> clas.sic mode >> fonts.

Just delete the ones you don't like, but keep a backup file somewhere just in case you want to reinstall them again.
