The program only shows the contents of whatever data file that you open with it. If the data appears to be corrupted, that may be a problem with the data file. However, it is possible that certain settings will make it appear that the data is corrupted. One is the LOCALE setting in the Windows 7 environment. Users normally know about this if they reside outside of the US in a non-English speaking country.
If you have backups of your data from before the problem appeared you can check them to see if they also appear to be corrupted. If the data files actually are corrupted, it is highly unlikely that GnuCash would be able to open them.
