It's been so long since I've looked at anything crypto related that I've pretty much forgotten anything I learned from back in 2017-2018 when I started to dabble in mining. That being said, I have some ETH in a desktop wallet that doesn't load any more and I have no idea how to go about accessing the the ETH stored in my wallet. I've spent a couple of hours trying to resolve the issue but every solution I've found has yielded no resolution to my issue.

When I try to run the latest version of Mist it gives me a "checksum mismatch in downloaded node!" error telling me to install the Geth node version 1.8.23 manually. When I try to run the Ethereum-Wallet.exe it just loads forever and doesn't get anywhere. I've tried the numerous guides you can find on Google on how to resolve this issue but I've had no luck.

Any thoughts?
