We cannot help you unless you tell us more about what you have done so
far.  Have you reviewed the help manual and set up some accounts and
entered a few transactions?  Did you check the options for the reports
to be sure that they are reporting for the time period when those
transactions are dated?  Do your transactions in the registers resemble
the illustrations in the manual?  Are you scrolling down to see the
totals at the end of each section in those reports?
