I cant seem to open my wallet and I have no clue why, I am currently trying to use an older version of armory because my wallets were created back in 2013 using the older version, I was hoping using the older version again will allow me to open the wallet, there is a chance the wallets are corrupted from a failed hard drive, anyone have issues with this before and or know how I can fix this? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Use one of your backups, digital or paper.

If you skipped the extremely important step of making a backup (and clicked through the multiple popups telling you to make a backup), try "fixed damaged wallets" under the wallet drop down menu. No guarantees.

If that doesn't work you could try a data recovery service. Again, no guarantees.

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.
