If you are experiencing hangs or crashes with GnuCash
An update on my experience:
I am running Release 5.9 in Windows 10 with a data file on a USB key. For
some reason it is not stable and it hangs and/or crashes from time to
time. It did it again this morning. Since I wanted to go back to a backup
from yesterday in order to recover I decided that
The link that I clicked on was the next to last one GNC_CONF. The only
thing I found there was a lonely file called environment. Not sure what it
contains. The GnuCash backup instructions state that the stuff is in the
Registry. Right now I don't have time to do any research on that.
On Fri,
It's the first two links that are probably of more interest to a user, the
other links relate to where gnucash and it's components are installed.
You'll be comforted to know that I also only have a single lonely
environment file in that same folder :-)
Cheers David H.

You'll be relieved to know that it's still there in the latest version
(5.9) then :-)

Michael D Novac,
You make a very good point with your illustration point 'a'.

Robin,
An easy way to determine whether you actually have data in the file is
to start with the Accounts tab.
1. Are most of the displayed balances nonzero? If so, data must be in
the file to get nonzero summary figures. On the other hand, if most of
the balances are zero, it might mean you have

One more thing. If you only transfer the XML data file without also
transferring the User files mentioned in that Backup reference, the data
file will open without the various tabs in the Tab Bar that were kept
nicely organized in those User files, so it will look like you lost the
rergisters when
Noted. Thanks for doing this.

Given that the file size is okay, it is odd that you are only seeing your
expense accounts. What does the "Accounts" page show? My bank accounts are
under Assets-Current Assets; if I right-click and select "Edit Account", I
see that the "Type" is "Bank". Are your bank accounts missing?
Dumb quest

Robin,
You say that you only have three accounts in GnuCash. There should be many
more than that. Take a look under Help to see some examples. You have one
page label on the Tab Bar called Accounts. Your three bank accounts fall
under Assets, but there should be other accounts under Liabilitie
Hello Robin,
A couple of times when I changed computers, I completely lost the files and
could not open them (I tried opening them but there were no transactions).
The solution that worked at the time was replaying the GnuCash .log file as
