Unfortunately I don't have a Windows system to test on, so all I can
do is suggest things for you to try.  

Are these the only scripts in the samples/test directories that hang
in this way?  (Note, I think in some cases the scripts are best run
from the directory above with the command 'ruby samples/demo.rb' or
'ruby samples/sample7.rb' etc.)  When I run 'ruby samples/sample7.rb'
it writes something like '#<FTLK::Scroll::0xb66577c>' to the output.
Do you see that, or does it not even get that far?  Do simple pure
Ruby scripts like 'puts "hello"' work?

Otherwise I suggest the standard stuff: add puts statements in the
script at various points and see which ones produce output.
