Gimp hangs when I attempt to use filters

[Arkitech]

I'm running the Windows version of Gimp 1.2.2 on a NT Workstation. What happens is whenever I try to select an option under filers (blur, glass, etc..) the option attempts to load in a seperate window but it hangs before it completely loads.


Is there a work around for this?

Thanks in advance for any assistance
