Urgent:Issue with dates

[Joshua Owusu-Ansah]

Thanks John, for replying.
My gnuhpcash was always quitting at the startup stage when loading user
information, so I upgraded to 2.6.13.  And it worked for a while(but only
when I run as administrator), then today this issue started.

1. I had scheduled transaction which all run severally and the dates on
them are now 2064 for year. When I saw this this morning, I disabled all
scheduled transactions and then restarted. Then I noticed all months are
now plus two months for posted transactions. So eg. A transaction that
occurred today 08/02/2016 in now recorded as 10/02/2016 and trying to enter
new expense shows date as 2064 for year.

2. I am in Ghana and my windows 10 machine is set to use UTC. Today is Tue,
Aug 2, 2016.

3. I am not sure about daylight/summer time.

4. I entered transactions this morning and the date was correct. Then I
quit and came back a bit later to try to get some customer information.
That is when the scheduled transactions run unexpectedly, I deleted the
resulting transactions and disabled scheduled transactions. Then I noticed
invoice dates are now plus two months ...

5. I should be able to read XML.

Please how can you help me out of this and why I'm I having so many issues
with gnucash lately?
