I'm just going to post my responses here if that's alright, Immortally? It's better for others who might be having a similar problem in the future to be able to see the solution: You have to download the portable version and install it on a USB stick - not download the regular version. I presume you're using Windows? You can get the portable version here in the "Windows" category; click on "Portable version": http://electrum.org/download.html Download it and copy/paste it to a USB stick, then run the portable .exe file. You need to follow the instructions that pop up exactly, and copy the Wallet generation seed into a notepad file so you don't lose access to it. Copy & Paste the Wallet generation seed in where it tells you to re-enter it and follow the instructions on-screen and you should be good to go. As long as you install it on a USB stick you can run the portable version and the normal version at the same time. Libertas
