If nothing else works you can just create a new Electrum wallet, request a new address and send the full amount from the original wallet that you used with that seed. What wallet did you initially use when you got that seed and what is wrong with it now?
Are you able to restore your wallet in the same software with the seed you have?
If not, there must be a mistake somewhere in the seed.

I created a wallet in another wallet and tried to open it in Electrum
I tried to register a new wallet in Electrum
You mean these two are different tries? Yes?I tried to register a new wallet in Electrum
So for the first one, use "Standard wallet->I already have a seed" and you'll need to click "Options" then check "BIP39 Seed" for the next button to be clickable.
But it depends on the format of that seed from "another wallet" if you'll able to restore the correct addresses, what wallet was it?
For the latter, Electrum doesn't have a "registration", just follow the guides above to be able to create a new wallet, do not follow any video guides as most of them are likely scam.

Please send me private message. We can help you. Thanks !
Don't contact this user! He is not part of any Electrum Costumer Support. There is no such thing. He will probably try to trick you into sending him your seed.Electrum works just fine, there is a problem with your seed somewhere.
You never answered the question if you created the original seed with Electrum or in another wallet?
thank you for information.

try using electrum on a different device. if you have an android phone and it is not rooted then you can install electrum on that via the play store and attempt a restore there. this should rule out any hardware problems on your PC.

you don't need to change the language in order to use a seed in a different language.

What's the language of your (mnemonic) seed?But button "Next" not active
AFAIK, it wasn't case-sensitive and double spaces/enter should be valid as a "separator" as well.
So the problem must be your keyboard's input.
Try copy-paste instead of manual typing:
- Create a new seed using "New/Restore", select Standard wallet-> create a new seed, select Legacy or SegWit.
- Copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) the seed to a (temporary) new text file.
- Then Copy the seed from the text file to the "next" window because for some reason it wont let you copy from the previous window.
- That should work since it's the exact copy of a valid seed; if it didn't, there something wrong with your downloaded Electrum
Note: if this worked, your seed written in paper wont be a reliable backup since you can't manually input it as a valid seed.
Try to change the language to English first.

See 2 & 3 here. If this doesn't help then do let us know how many words in your seed and whether all the words are in the dictionary linked on that page in number 3.

steps:
File -> create/restore
Next
Wallet with two-factor authentication
Next
I have seed
I am input my seed, but button "Next" not active
This only occurs if the seed is invalid, or you a using a NON 2FA seed. This is what you'll see if invalid seed:File -> create/restore
Next
Wallet with two-factor authentication
Next
I have seed
I am input my seed, but button "Next" not active
This is what you'll see if NON 2FA seed:
Do you see "seed type"? or is it blank? If blank, then the seed you have is invalid. Most likely, you have a "similar" word, like kid, kit, kite etc.

Do you mean you are also trying:"File -> Create/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a New Seed"
and after copying seed and then re-entering to check you have copied OK, that that isn't working as well?

Maby i have hack-version? I know hackers are faking Electrum
Are you sure you have downloaded the wallet from- https://electrum.org/#downloadPlease verify the file once again- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-verify-your-electrum-wallet-on-windows-4183993
If you are using a phishing version, your seed has likely been compromised.
If you have downloaded from the official website & were able to verify the wallet, you are fine.

possibly you entered incorrect seed.
December 30, 2019, 09:34:35 AM
Next button is "not active" because the SEED isn't valid. There may be a typo or it was from a non-2FA wallet.
What was the result shown in the "Seed Type: ?"
Was your seed created using Electrum?
If you're 100% positive that it was from an Electrum 2FA wallet, then you might have entered a wrong word or two.
If it's from a standard wallet, use the options "Standard Wallet->I already have a seed".
