Hi everyone, first time poster here and I have an issue with my wallet. I'm pretty much a BTC newbie, bought some way years back and put it in an armory wallet and haven't really touched it since. I'm now trying to move the BTC out of the wallet but now I'm struggling to get it out.
What Happened:
Initially, my BTC balance would load, i just couldn't get the wallet to go online to transfer any balances. At one point after a day or 2 of messing around with it, I managed to get it to go online but at the final stage of transfer it gave me some message saying to enable RPC Server or something. I did this for bitcoin core, and now my Armory wallet wont even prepare databases and is basically stuck.
Looks like this:

What I've tried:
I spent a couple days re-downloading the whole block chain and reinstalling Armory. I am currently on v. 96.5 and Core 28.1
if it matters, these are not the versions I started with.
Aside from that, I'm pretty stuck. I bought some physical wallets to move my BTC into because this is a headache. Let me know if you need any logs or anything like that.

IF possible, Id like to transfer BTC the normal way, as a last resort, how would I get a key so I can move my BTC off of armory and onto my new wallet (I bought a tangem wallet)

Thanks in advanced, im really struggling with this

nevermind, I ended up individually pulling the key of each address of the wallet and plugging it into blockchain.com, then moving my BTC from there.

For Reference to others who may come across the same issue and can't somehow fix the RPC error even with server=1:

They can create an unsigned transaction by ticking the "Create Unsigned" checkbox in the Send screen, check the output(s) and fee then, continue.
Copy the Transaction Data and paste it in the next screen (after pressing the next 'continue' button)
Click "Sign" to sign it, then "Copy Raw Tx (Hex)" after it's signed.

That can then be broadcasted to any push/broadcast transaction service (e.g.: blockstream.info/tx/push)
or node/wallet (Bitcoin Core's sendrawtransaction RPC) to send it to the network.

nevermind, I ended up individually pulling the key of each address of the wallet and plugging it into blockchain.com, then moving my BTC from there.
It's fortunate that you didn't experience any issue with that wallet given that you've chosen a web wallet of all things.
