Hi, just new to all this and the recommendation was to used Electrum as a wallet.
After downloading, tried opening and message 'FATAL ERROR' appeared.
Error loading Python DLL 'C:\users\ASPIRE1\AppData\local\Temp\_MEl89402\python35.dll.
LoadLibrary: Invalid access to memory location.
This is probably an easy fix but I've tried reinstalling and other means but unable to get it running.
Is this a common occurrence or have I downloaded from a dodgy site (electrum.org)?
Any help would be really appreciated.
No. This is happening to almost everyone trying to load electrum on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
If you really need electrum3 then use a live OS or dual boot.
Else, redownload/locate your old version of electrum 2.9.3 and use that until the bug is fixed (as I'm doing).
