Just a comment, Why is Gimp brush (animated) selected? Should not make any difference

Looks like it does make a difference. Set it to automatic.

 

And another comment on Gimp 2.10 and 32 bit Windows. Congratulations on getting Gimp installed.
There are often problems with 32 bit Windows. The last know 'good' version was Gimp 2.10.6 You could try that version.

Firstly, thanks for responding.

The long path is due to long filenames and sub-folders

Gimp brush was not highlighted purposefully.  I did change it to automatic, as you suggested, but that didn't change the result.

I can open all my image files in windows, and other programs.

I was searching for solutions, and I came across a couple other users with the same problem.  However, responses were not forthcoming with solutions for my problem.

Could it have anything to do with my plugin folder?  If I don't get a solution, I'll have to revert to an llater version.

Thanks again.
