balance sheet rollup-totals are $0

[David T.]

I am not using Windows much these days. 

Microsoft has an article for how to set variables in Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519

I found this forum thread for Windows Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-account-administration/7649-setting-environment-variables.html

I will not vouch that these will fix the problem or work.
