Faulty wallet

[Stephen123]

Bitcoins I purchased are not being accepted by my wallet. If I take copy the address that the coins were sent to, then trash the faulty wallet, and reinstall a new download, can I manually input the old address to lodge the coins?

If I understand correctly, I think you would need your private key to do this. (sweep at Mt. Gox)

Otherwise why not get a new address and try the transaction again?

No, never trash a wallet that might contain coins.  If you do, the coins are gone forever.  Inputting the old address into a new wallet will not save them.
