Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file while opening Electrum

[AnCapFree]

I can’t open my Electrum wallet. It was working fine until recently. Now I get this: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item

What is wrong?

When do you get this error? Screenshot?

use system restore to put your computer back a few days, it should work and undo what went wrong

Try

Code:

File > Open

and load your wallet file (usually default_wallet.dat)

I have just rebooted my Pc and the problem went away. It still gives me:

Program: C:\Users\MICRO~PC\DOCUME~1\electrum-2.5.4-portable.exe
R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information

But then Electrum loads up next

That is probably because you're using the portable version but as long as you can use your funds, it shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell but make sure to keep back up of your wallet, should something go wrong in future your funds will still be sound.

Also, you should read this warning about portable version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154451.0
