I'm also finding it strange that none of the official builds I've downloaded worked. I've never had an issue with downloading and running a creative program on this computer before.

I don't have any antivirus software running on my computer at this time, but I disabled my firewall and re-installed Gimp from the official website just to check as the firewall has caused me problems in the past. I'm still receiving the error at startup, unfortunately.

I had to upload the requested files to Media Fire as it was too big to upload directly to the forum, but here it is: CLICK

So, your brushes, dynamics, gradients and patterns are identical to mine. I don't see your palettes but I admit I forgot to ask.

Is there by any chance a file called "tags.xml" in your Gimp profile? Or any file that has a temporary name (lots of digits and strange extension?). If so you can you zip & attach here?

The tags.xml on my system deals with things in:

• brushes
  
• dynamics
  
• patterns
  
• gradients
  
• palettes
  
• tool-presets
  

So, we know now what to look at... So , two things to try:

1) post the missing directories (MediaFire is fine if necessary)
2) for each of these directories, rename it, replace it with an empty directory, and restart Gimp
