wallet does not start?

[Solvius]

Hello

When I double click the icon of my electrum wallet on my desktop then it will not open.
I can see at my mouspointer a small moving circle pointing out that a application is starting or loading.
After a few minutes I tried to stop the process in my taskmanager but thats also not working.
I can not stop the process of starting also.
The only thing I ca do is to restart my computer to stop the process of starting.
I am using windows 7 home 64 bit.

Yesterday the wallet was working.

can someone help me to get my wallet working again?

Got the same problem here... same platform.  We'll get it sorted out.  I suspect it's a server issue and the failure is novel enough not to show an appropriate dialog.  The fact that I can't kill the proc may mean that it's in some kind of endless loop.

I was also thinking that it was a server problem, somewhere.

I am just using Bitcoins for around 3 weeks, so I kinda became in a state of panic

Thanx for your answer btcbot

No problem...  as long as you have your seed (12 or 13 words), there's never really a problem with Electrum.

And the 2.5.4 installer craps out in the same way...  (Currently running 2.5.2.)

And it's unkillable from the TaskMgr with the same 116KB size.  

I also just tried to install the sources, and the PyQT installer craps out in the same unkillable way with a 116KB proc memory size.  

I now have:

2 2.5.4 installers running...
2 PYQt installers...
4 Electrum 2.5.2 instances...

So, there seems to be something very wrong then, I guess.

btw, I also noticed that there are 3 exe's are running in the task manager when I try to start it up once.

The wallet does work again.

Mine, too... would be nice if it didn't happen again, too!  I've been using Electrum for almost 3 years now and this is the first this has happened.
