Hi Allison, In case you have trouble following the mail thread below,
Sounds like a bug that is already fixed in latest version. Problem occurs in MS Windows when GnuCash is closed while it is minimized, say by right clicking on Gnucash icon in task bar, and selecting 'Close'. Either upgrade to latest version or edit .gcm file to replace both -32000 values with 0. I think you can find this bug in http://bugs.gcucash.org by searching for 'minimized' - I think I entered this bug with American spelling even though I'm Australian, as I guess there are many more American users than English.
