The first thing to do is to turn on logging and report back with the contents of the log:

Copy the GnuCashPortable.ini file from GnuCashPortable\Other\Source to GnuCashPortable.
Edit this ini and Change the 'LogFile=' line to 'LogFile=Data\Profile\GnuCash.log'.
Run GnuCash Portable again.
Open GnuCashPortable\Data\Profile and text edit the GnuCash.log.<random characters> file.
Copy the contents of that log file to a comment on this post, surrounded by <pre> and </pre> tags.

Also what OS is your system (XP/2000/98)?

This is almost certainly a GnuCash bug. It appears to me that it is having problems with the language and/or fonts on your system (that's what codepages usually refer to) causing it to not be able to open dialog windows.

Unfortunately we aren't going to be of much help on bugs with GnuCash itself. I would suggest you either send an email with details of the log file, your OS version, language, system font used, etc to the GnuCash user mailing list (info here), or create a new bug in the GnuCash BugZilla repository.
