Have you tried re installing Electrum? And are you using the latest version of the software? (Perhaps avoid using beta versions, if available.)

It's Electrum 1.9.8. No, I haven't tried to reinstall - that would likely fix it, now that you mention it. But it's working for me as it is, and I'm loath to mess with something that I entrust with moolah.
