Small tax problem, gross price changing.

So, this is my third time typing this post, thank you firefox - it keeps going back with some silly keyboard shortcut...

Having a slight problem with my online shop. There is only one tax zone, Ireland - and the rate is 21%. THere will probably be no international customers.
When I go to the admin tools, into the catalog and price a new product I put 10 into the gross price box - and it neatly calculates the net price of 8.2645. However, when I click on "preview" to go to update the product, the price changes to "9.94", rather than what it should be - €10. When I click "Update" it changes again to 12.04! Now, as a prospective customer, I go to buy this product it is priced at €12.04, rather than the €10 (including vat) it should cost. I go to checkout, and it shows the 2.09 tax which was added on, like so:

Sub-Total:12.04EUR
Free Shipping Options (Free Shipping):0.00EUR
IE TAX 21.0%: 2.09EUR
Total:12.04EUR

However, the product should be priced at €10, and the total summary should read like so:
Sub-Total:8.24EUR
Free Shipping Options (Free Shipping):0.00EUR
IE TAX 21.0%: 1.76EUR
Total:10.00EUR

Anybody have any ideas as to how this is happening, it just doesn't make sense! Thanks
Cian

Update Have solved the problem. The problem was the currency figure for Euro (the default currency) was 1.26, it had to be reset to zero. I then delted dollar.
