Hi revalin i had an old electrum wallet that i forgot about a while ago and went back recently to get the coins out of it but it wouldnt work even though i saved the password i used, but i think i might have changed it slightly and didnt save the changes or something but i know what it generally is and what characters i used. I found your electrum script and installed ruby on win7 and modified it to point to the wallet and electrum.exe and named it brute.rb but when i ran it it just opened and closed. i dont know what else to do can you please help?

You need to run the script within an already open terminal. Go to the folder where it is and open the command line in there. If you shift and right click you will get the option to open the terminal there.
