AH ok but how come that wallet with wrong seed can be created ?
It's possible that the seed belongs to a different wallet.
Also, electrum generates addresses from BIP39 seeds even if the cheksum is failed.

and if how come u can see receiving green adresses when history is empty ...
Electrum highlight all receiving addresses in green. Being heightened in green doesn't mean the address has received bitcoin.   

I managed to recover some old files from laptop can any1 please state what was original name of that file i need to recover my old wallet ?
As default, electrum wallet files are saved in following location.

Code:
%APPDATA%\Electrum\wallets
