When pool mining, how do I get paid? Just for fun i decided to check out bit coins and do some mining. No visions of making millions or anything I just find the concept pretty cool. At any rate I have installed guiminer in windows and i have installed the bit coin wallet from the bitcoin site.

How do i get my address so that i can have someone send me funds and in the mining software how do i set it up so that it knows where to deposit funds? I have it up and running using btc guild pool but it has never asked me about how to send me bit coins.

I am confused i feel  like i am missing the most important piece of the puzzle.
You need to get a receiving address from the client (or from an e-wallet if you prefer) and copy and paste it into the address field against your account in BTCGuild. 

Bear in mind that if you're using the Bitcoin-QT client there is a very long synchronisation process to wait for, though you may be able to get a receiving address before it completes (but you won't see any received bitcoins in your wallet until it's synchronised). Depending on your hardware and bandwidth, synchronisation may take several days to complete.

While there's no receiving address against your BTCGuild account, you'll just be accumulating bitcoins against your BTCGuild balance, so you aren't losing anything in the meantime.

Bear in mind that the "difficulty" level of mining for the network as a whole has risen to a very high level due to the arrival of highly efficient dedicated ASIC bitcoin mining hardware. This means mining on graphics cards is likely no longer profitable (depending on purchase and electricity costs) and CPU mining hasn't been profitable for a long time.
