Yes sorry!! I mean Electron Cash I was typing that fast because I was at work but yes I downloaded the real wallet from the website that is not the problem. I did create the wallet how you said already I am very tech savy not  a newbie trust me. But the one thing I notice about what you said is to paste the keys one by one.I just pasted them all it was many pages of keys and the software always freezes because it is a lare amount of numbers I though.I dont know if pasting them one by one will make a difference.You think that is why is is not allowing me to push the Next button, it is always greyed out.
Not paste keys one by one... but one per line... You can copy/paste in a bunch of keys at the same time, as long as it's one per line, like this:



DO NOT include any extra spaces or " marks or ' etc... it should JUST be the private key (starting with a 5, L or K). If you have extra characters, the "Next" button will stay greyed out... like this:



Also, exactly how many keys do you have? If it is more than a 100, then chances are that the software might not cope very well. I've never tested it with that many keys before... but I know others have struggled when trying to import large numbers of keys. If you have hundreds and hundreds of keys, you might need to import the keys in smaller blocks... ie. Create the wallet with maybe 50 keys to start with... then use "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Import" and import the next 50... then just repeat that until you have them all imported.

It'll put less strain on the app having to hash all of the keys to generate the addresses etc... and less strain on the Electrum servers as it won't attempt to try and find transaction history for 100's and 100's of addresses all at once.
