Hi, the usual advice is firstly to ignore the opening balance and try and reconcile anyway - a transaction from an earlier period may have been (unwittingly) un- reconciled by you editing something in one of the other registers affecting the transaction. Have you possibly put a transaction in the wrong column - eg a retailer refund to a credit card is easy (with auto-complete's help) to put in as a purchase without realizing that you still need to swap the transfer columns?
