SOLVED:  I noticed that a website was not loading on my laptop, returning an error saying I was being blocked, but it was working from my phone on the same network.  It occurred to me that this might be related to my problem with the installer, so I rebooted the laptop and fixed both issues.




===============================================================================
I have my mnemonic, but when trying to recreate my wallet the installer crashes when it cannot contact the server for the ToS.

I read online about other people having similar problems, and resolving it with a newer version from GitHub, but that was way back in 17/18.

I tried using an older version and had the same result.

Any help is appreciated.

What ToS? Is your wallet using the 'TrustedCoin' 2FA?

Which version of Electrum are you using?

old versions are deliberately crashed because they are unsafe.
