Gimp 2.8 RC VS Gimp 2.8.0

Well So far, not much..!
Compatibility issue with office 2003 fixed.
Starts much faster as described below on my PC Specs here:

 

Specs as follow

———————————
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz
Memory: 992MB RAM
Chipset: SiS 661FX
———————————

Start times:

First start of the program, right after install, no brushes, etc added.
01 Min 02 Sec
Second start, right after the first (Without restart).
10 Sec

After Restart :

24 Sec
Edit image, right after the restart (Without restart).
10 sec

Note

I may have to note that I have a tweak that clears the ram form .dll files after closing the program, maybe it’s part of the thing, you can find it in this thread, works even on Windows 7 starter, and may work on others two.
P.S: I read somewhere on the web that brushes add 05 Sec to the startup pf the program.

 

Gimp 2.8 Problem solved!!

Hey there you guys?
How are you today?
hope you are doing great!

Tested OS: Windows XP SP3  MS Office 2003 Enterprise, Gimp 2.8 RC1
If you installed the amazing Gimp 2.8 and enjoyed working on it as much as I did, you would be interested in reading this, Gimp 2.8 crashes, loads for a split second and then vanishes, even if you view the process in task manager, you will see it for a split second and then it goes out..

What is causing this?

The Reason for this is Office 2003, apparently there is a font issue that is causing this bug, and it’s yet to be fixed (at the point of the post), so if you are a die-hard gimp fan you will be forced to make a choice between the two, (That is office and Gimp)
Tip: You can use Open Office, almost as good, absolutely free of charge.
As soon you uninstall the Office 2003 suit and reinstall gimp 2.8, it will work normally.
And That is it..
Please Comment and thank you for reading.
Have a wonderful day.

Recuva 1.40 Crashes Fix!!

Hello There, and welcome to another tip made easy.
Recuva Suddenly stopped working and crashes on start, doesn’t even pass the wizard, whats wrong??


Tested Os: Windows XP SP3  MS Office 2003 Professional, Recuva 1.40 slim

Just Like the Last post about gimp 2.8 Solved, this is caused by MS Office 2003 and it’s fonts, if you can’t live without Recuva then uninstall MS Office 2003 and install a free office alternative like Open office.

 

It will work right after you uninstall MS Office 2003 just try it and let me know.
Have a wonderful day.
