Parallax LCD_2X16 example sketch

At least one person was helped. Maybe you could help me also.
I've downloaded the .cpp and the .h files and the sketch file and compiled with no errors but all I get on the display is "" and the cursor advances one space; but only when I reset the arduino. No backlight or anything.
The self test via the switches does work and I have tried all three baud rates.

Any additional help will be greatly appreciated.

(and I'll wait until you Aussies wake up)

checking on another thread, I noticed that my TX/RX LEDs weren't flashing when I uploaded a program. COM port had been changed. one problem down, more to go.
Now I get the cursor moving about plus a few tones and after 30 seconds or so, it sounds like it's trying to play some tune. From the looks of the sketch; I don't think it's supposed to be playing any tunes.
