Thanks HCP. Yes you are right, it was the libsecp256k1-0.dll that was creating some issues for me. I appreciate your offer and please no offence but with the past scam around Electrum, I was hoping a version (with all the components incl. DLL) could be downloaded from the official source. I guess I'll have to wait for the official release 4 which hopefully will be available in the coming months.
No offence taken... I understand your concerns.
In which case, I'd suggest you download and install a virtual machine like Oracle Virtual Box, install Ubuntu 18.04 and compile your own version of libsecp256k1-0.dll... it isn't overly hard and doesn't take a lot of grunt... My Ubuntu VM only has 4 Gigs of RAM assigned to it... and my host machine is Windows10 with 8 Gigs total (and a very old i5-3570k).
Hell, you could probably even try installing the
Windows Subsytem for Linux... run "Ubuntu" using that and compile the libsecp256k1-0.dll there. I might even test if this is possible if I get bored enough
