Hi,
it's a bit of a puzzle, since I'm unable to reproduce the problem. I've
got
two machines, and I've tested the following:
Win XP Machine 1
Win 2000 Machine 2
Win XP Machine 2
Win Vista 32 bit Machine 2
Win Vista 64 bit Machine 2
Win 7 64 bit Machine 2
and they all work fine.
You could try setting the environment variable ARGYLL_NOT_INTERACTIVE to "yes",
and see what happens if you enter (say) a space and then return at each point
you would "hit a key", and see if the behaviour is any different.

I think that the trace is merely cut off (due to buffered I/O not flushing ?),
since it is in the middle of the initialization sequence, and you don't get to
the point of doing a calibration until it is past there.
