I too have had exaclty the same problem. CodeProbe GURUed at either an
OpenWindow() or OpenScreen() call. Even when trying out the program "lines"
as told in the CodeProbe manual, the Guru invited me to a meditation session.
But this happened only when I was booting off the Lattice_C disk. If I boot
from my "ArpBench" disk, no problem. Due to the nature of my work, it took me
3 days to discover that this was a CodeProbe bug. I was not amused.
