Hi, just new to all this and the recommendation was to used Electrum as a wallet.

After downloading, tried opening and message 'FATAL ERROR' appeared.

Error loading Python DLL 'C:\users\ASPIRE1\AppData\local\Temp\_MEl89402\python35.dll.
LoadLibrary: Invalid access to memory location.

This is probably an easy fix but I've tried reinstalling and other means but unable to get it running.

Is this a common occurrence or have I downloaded from a dodgy site (electrum.org)?

Any help would be really appreciated.
