Wallet wont even open when I add the stuff in brackets
Hai mate, all you need to do just make "megastake.conf" file :
rpcuser=yourid
rpcpassword=yourpass
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
maxconnections=100
addnode=178.62.40.227
addnode=76.26.82.101
addnode=184.75.211.142
addnode=120.146.238.104
addnode=2.61.166.239
--------
The location of megastake.conf depends on your operating system:
Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\megastake\megastake.conf
Windows Vista, 7 %appdata%/Roaming/megastake/megastake.conf
Linux /home//.megastake/megastake.conf
Mac OSX /Users//Library/Application Support/megastake/megastake.conf
and the latest wallet version is 1.2.0.0
