I myself cannot open Electrum wallet as well. It crashes every single time.

I am using:

 - Macbook with MAC OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

 - Electrum 1.9.8

Does this really did not happen to a lot of people? why could this be happening?

I want to send all my BTC from the Multibit wallet to Electrum due to the bug scandal regarding lost funds when you receive the change.

Thanks in advance!
