If you can manage to get it running... you can export your keys and then import them into another wallet like Electrum... If you just want to get it open, and 0.96.4 still won't run for you, you can try the older version and do the key export without worrying about syncing with Core etc.

NOTE: exporting keys should not be taken lightly. There is a chance your keys may get compromised if your computer is not secured and you could suffer coin loss as a result.


To export your keys, you can use the following menu options in Armory:
- Wallet Properties
- Backup This Wallet


- Select "Export Keys List" (top left box)
- Click "Export Keys List" (bottom box)


- Select the following options: "Address String", "Private Key (Plain Base58)","Include Unused (Address Pool)"... and make sure "Omit spaces in key data" is checked


You'll end up with a list of all the addresses and private keys displayed in the text box. The private keys will be labelled as "Plain Base58"

You can then "import" or "sweep" those private keys using the wallet of your choice (like Electrum or Bitcoin Core). I would highly recommend "sweeping" (as opposed to "importing") as the private keys could potentially be compromised/exposed during the export/import process.
