Title: Electrum issue (could someone move this to the Electrum forum?)
Post by: eirero on May 04, 2013, 09:18:25 PM
I thank you for helping out with the previous bug. I do however have a new issue.
When i click on the Electrum ikon, to start the program nothing happens. The program doesn't open.
It's installed on my usb drive and I pulled it out of the socket before I closed the program.
After reinserting it I cant get it to start.

I get this dialog box message now:
Error loading Python DLL: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\_MEI3882\python27.dll (error code 5)

Should I re-install Electrum or would that delete my bitcoins?

Can someone help me get my Electrum running again?

Off topic question, but what exactly is "electrum?"

Is there a fix for this? I just installed Electrum and getting the same error, checked the directory and that dll file does exist so I dunno what's up?

You can re-install Electrum safely, your wallet file is kept separately (unless you are using the portable executable, so it would be in the USB key).
