I just upgraded my pc (hd install) with the latest knoppix ..

I loaded up the gimp and then tried to open a jpg file that I d/l from the web... and I get this error:

" GIMP Message

Opening '/path to my file.......jpg...' failed:

Plug-in could not open image".


HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!

I used apt-get to remove the gimp, then I used it to re-download and install it but I get the same error both ways !


Any ideas on how to fix this?????
