http://www.gimp.org/windows/
Follow the link saying 'Automated installer' (As the official G.I.M.P. website only provides the source code, not the program itself, which must be compiled using the source - i.e. very complicated and you don't want to do it  )

The GIMP = The GNU Image Manipulation Program
It's basically a free open source image editing program such as the likes of Adobe Photoshop and Jasc Paint Shop Pro. |

Well, I've never tried it on any other platform, but it beats using paint any day!

Did you download the right bit?
 The link labelled 'automated installer' takes you to http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net where you must click on 'stable' under Downloads on the left panel. You then download both 'The GIMP For Windows' AND GTK +2 Runtime Environment. Install GTK+2 and then install GIMP. Then it should work properly. |
