for windows

open up a command prompt (windows key + r and type cmd - ok)

navigate to the folder where you extracted maxcoind.exe to (C:\Documents and Settings\varagtp)
so you command prompt is showing C:\Documents and Settings\varagtp>

then type maxcoind then enter
it will load the wallet and all you will see is the cursor blinking on the next line
don't stress it's catching up. (to check open up C:\Documents and Settings\varagtp\Application Data\MaxCoin  and open up the debug.log file to see it catching up. give it 5-10mins

now open up another command prompt (windows key + r and type cmd - ok)
navigate to the folder where you extracted maxcoind.exe to (C:\Documents and Settings\varagtp)
so you command prompt is showing C:\Documents and Settings\varagtp>

then type maxcoind getnewaddress then enter


if i haven't messed it up it will then show you your address.

hope that helps
