You have several options.  You can do as Allegro suggests and get the 
student version.  You can use a different lisp such as clisp, gcl, or 
sbcl, which all work on Windows (I think).  Or if you really want to use 
Allegro, you can comment out the section in maxima.system that builds 
the slatec routines.   You won't be able to compute some functions, but 
perhaps that will work for you.
