Hi Nostalgia,
I had the same issue in Windows 8 for some reason.
We will publish a fix.
Thank you for your feedback.

how to generate a wallet address?

I believe this was installed on a Mac OS, same issue occurs.
did you see the bitcoinJ logo? is this the SPV client for metacoins, inclulding MSC , XCP?
What do you think about this? https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/11/13/scalability-part-3-metacoin-history-multichain/
this part:
"However, metacoins on top of Bitcoin have one major flaw: simplified payment verification, already difficult with colored coins, is outright impossible on a metacoin. "We also have the architecture that was missing from Counterparty - "true SPV support" for bitcoin transfer.
Right now the Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) for BTC transactions works flawlessly.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
