Hi Larry,
Did you set opening balances while creating accounts ? It happens on Windows
that this makes your file unreadable afterwards.
You can find some more information and a (manual) way to fix it here:

If you haven't entered much data yet (and the above is really the cause), you
may consider restarting from scratch as well.
