Hey Ben,
New to this myself but got my screen working today so I can help.
You may already know some of this so if so, ignore it.
The first thing you need to do is find out what com port your arduino is connected to.
To do this, ensure your arduino is unplugged and open device manager from Start, Control panel, System, device manager.
Plug in your arduino and see what com port changes. Eg. com 4 or com 3 etc. This is the com port your arduino is connected to.
Download arduino from here http://www.arduino.cc/
Open arduino and click Tools and select your board and com port.
Copy and paste this to your open arduino page.

Don't copy anything else including this line....
You will notice at the start of the script a " Please remove comment." this means delete the // from the start of the line that matches your lcd screen.
Mine was this one..
U8GLIB_KS0108_128 u8g(8, 9, 10, 11, 4, 5, 6, 7, 18, 14, 15, 17, 16); // 8Bit Com: D0..D7: 8,9,10,11,4,5,6,7 en=18, cs1=14, cs2=15,di=17,rw=16
Anything after // is ignored by the program. These comments are to tell others what the line is for.
You'll see 8,9,10,11,4,5,6,7 are the digital pins on your arduino in that order.
18, 14, 15, 17, 16 (or analog 3,2,4,0,1 ) to your pinouts for your lcd screen for enable, select chip1, select chip2, Display instructions, and r/w for rewrite.
The following pins relate to my setup of arduino uno and 12864a lcd screen.
lcd ; Arduino
1 ; To 12k resistor and then to ground ( 12k is brown ( the number 1) , red ( the number 2 ), orange ( 3, The multiplier. Equals 3 zeros ).
2 :+5 volts
3 ; to centre pin of 10k pot
4 ; Analog pin 3 ( Called 18 in sketches or en for enable)
5 ; Analog pin 2 ( Called 14 or cs1 for select chip 1)
6 ; Analog pin 4 ( Called 15 or cs2 for select chip 2)
7 ; Digital pin 8
8 ; Digital pin 9
9 ; Digital pin 10
10 ; Digital pin 11
11 ; Digital pin 4
12 ; Digital pin 5
13 ; Digital pin 6
14 ; Digital pin 7
15 ; Analog pin 0 ( Called 17 or Display instruction)
16 ; Analog pin 1 ( Called 16 or Reset)
17 ; Not connected
18 ; One side of 10 k pot
19 ; 5 volts
20 ; Ground
Other side of 10k pot to ground.
Pot is for adjusting contrast but mine doesn't work yet but all displays work and can be seen on screen.
I also have a Mega 2560 but haven't tried to connect this board to my lcd yet. Maybe others can help with that board.
Hope this helps.
Greg
