My name is Norbert Klein, German, since 1990 in Cambodia, 90 years old, but still alive and interested.
After this self-introduction, I would like to ask for your help. I read since some days the GnuCash user mailing list, and I see the many detailed qestion raised and responded. Several years ago, I had been using GnuCash, but because of changed working responsibilities this had been given up – and I do not have any copies. But the new task is similar: to set up a general income-and-expenses system, with the two currencies US$ and Cambodian/Khmer Riel – with the widely used fixed rate of US$1.00 to Riel 4,000. Then I tried to clean my Windows 10 notebook from any remaining old “*gnu*” file which might have reamined from before. I downloaded gnucash-5.7.setup.exe and started the installation, and the installation happened in C:\System\ProgramFiles(x86)\gnucash I was happy to see that also a GnuCash icon had been created on the desktop, and I hoped I could now start to set up the GnuCash program – but here my frustration started. I tried for several hours to solve it – in vain. I describe here what I got, and I ask for your advice. After clicking on the GnuCash icon, I get – only very short – a kind of general GnuCash display picture, and then a GnuCash Tip-of-the-Day. These disappear quickly, and a full screen field shows up: Unsaved Book - GnuCash File Edit View Actions Business Reports Tools Windows Help (9 items) Save Close (with a grayed out Down Arrow) (with a crossed out x-sign) When click I see: When click I see: Save the current file. Close the current active page. But I cannot use these activations – but I can close the whole screen. I had also tried the 9 items above – but I did not find out where these contacts would lead me. So I am totally frustrated, and I started to write to the help list. Please help.
