On Saturday, a childhood hero of mine - David Rocastle - died of a form of cancer. He was 33.
My best friend's dad also died from cancer a few years ago.
I also fear cancer because, though I've never smoked, I grew up with two parents who were heavy smokers; my mum has since given up, but my dad continues to smoke reasonably heavily.
Now all of us with PC's or Mac's have a chance to assist in finding a cure for this disease.

...and download the software. It runs in your computer's spare cycles and analyses potential cures for cancer.

Restart the PC stupid.
Ha.
Windows has now completely crashed after a half hour domino knocking of all open programs.
I now no longer have access to the start bar, and this browser is happily floating on it's own...
Ah. There goes messenger.

Urm, aren't you doing gameaday anymore?
A 15Ghz hard drvie eh? Thats quite impressive. :-)
I wont be able to do much cure finding at the moment, my NTL internet connection is knackered and so the UD software doesnt start running automatically as it needs to connect to the 'net first.
Rest assured i will be back on the case ASAP!!

TWO home PC's? At those specs?
Tony, you're obviously paying Joe far too much money! ;-)

You have more than enough there to run it.
If all else fails, try contacting the UD support people - or asking on their forums.

That's about all I know. I'll try defragmenting my hard drive.

Ant, what's your PC spec?
I assume you mean "Invalid page fault" and that indicates some kind of conflict between the software and something else on your PC.
