New Installation and Grid Square problem

I just did a new installation and when I entered in my Grid Square (EM13PA) the Log4OM provides different CQ and ITU zones that are not my area.
I've again looked online and did a grid square search for my QTH and it has not changed.
My data in QRZ.com is correct as well.
Any suggestions as to what I might be doing incorrectly?

Where are you entering the grid square? in the options/station info tab or the QSO input screen?
The CQ & ITU zones, prefix and DXCC number in the Options/Station info tab are derived from the country selected - You did select a country didn't you?

Terry,
I was entering all the data on the Station Tab.
Yes, I selected - United States.
I entered my grid square: EM13PA
The DXCC code is correct for USA at 291.
Log4OM enters in: CQ Zone 5 and ITU Zone 6
I am actually located in CQ Zone 4 and ITU Zone 7
No other options provided by the drop down for each of those entries.
Here is a screen clip:

Nolan,
Large continents like the USA and Australia have multiple zones so sometimes you need to enter the correct zone manually

Terry,
Sry for delay, but just wanted to express my thanks for the help and direction. I did not try to manually enter the proper zone or itu. I just clicked on the dropdown and didn't see a full list of numbers to select so thought I was stuck there.
As I dig more into Log4OM I'm seeing that a lot of the selected operations do take off and do their thing once selected without waiting for another "go" entry or such.
