Open electrum and click on the Receive tab.

There should be items that say something like "Main Account", "Receiving" "Change" etc.

click the arrows to the left of those words and the addresses should show up.

Master Public Key should also show up by clicking the "Wallet" option on the toolbar (if you are using Mac or Linux, the toolbar is on the upper left corner of your monitor, not attached to the window) and clicking "Master Public Key"

If you still can't find the addresses, find your wallet file.

For linux it should be in your home folder under the hidden folder /.electrum. There will be a file called "default_wallet"

For Windows, it's C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Electrum

Delete the "default_wallet" file, then restart electrum and choose "Create New wallet" and DON'T choose restore from seed etc.

This should create a new wallet for you, try checking the receive tab and Master Public Key to see if they show up.


There is NO NEED TO ACCESS THE INTERNET. Everything for creating a wallet is done offline and will work properly.


Just in case, how did you install Electrum? Did you use the .tar.gz file on the download page?

Good!

One more thing. DEFINITELY keep your XP offline! No more security updates = very dangerous.
