trouble with reconciling

[Paula Hendricks]

i've been setting and unsetting preferences because i have never been able to get the transactions windows to show up for reconciling. one of the settings in preferences is the auto interest payment check box... and another user thought he had had the same problem initially and that setting this option might fix my problem.

i can go through all 4 of your steps and step 5 never happens.

i have looked everywhere to figure this out and cannot find a way to reconcile my accounts because the transactions window has never shown up. grrrr.
