Can't get going again - 'Agent paused' even after remedial action.

I was very sad to find that the Oxford University Cancer project was going a few days ago crying , but relieved to find that similar work was available through WCG, so dutifully downloaded the agent onto a few of my machines. smile
I set them to a new profile, with the cancer project being the only one active, and using the UD agent.
Each of them had already started work on a work unit for Muscular Dystrophy, which was fine, so I left them to get on with that. smile
The first machine to complete a work unit has now submitted its results, but after getting 742 points for that 19hour run, every time I try to get it to resume work, it just says: -
"Agent paused, see www.wcgrid.org/cause.html" sad
So, of course, I dutifully visit that page and take the remedial action mentioned, which in my case doesn't involve proxies, but could be the DEP thing, so I updated the system settings for DEP and added in the exclusion for UD.exe in the WCG install directory and rebooted. Same thing: -
"Receiving 3833 of 3833 bytes from the server"
Then "Agent paused" again. crying
I'd like to get this work-shy agent back to the grid-stone (sic) - anyone got any constructive advice about how - before I go BOINC? confused

Thanks in advance.

HDC (Help Defeat Cancer) was finished just before your joined. A new Help XXXXXXX Cancer project is being prepped for roll out later Q2, early Q3-07. To get going select alternate projects like Genome Comparison and Human Proteome Folding Phase II which do gene/protein studies, that gain further knowledge in the cell interactions which help to broaden the knowledge of cell behaviour and it's interactions.

Okay, thatnks for that, I've selected another couple of projects to run until my own (for family and friend reasons) favourite becomes available.

Thanks again.

Peter.

Receiving 3833 of 3833 bytes from the server
That's one of those meaningless messages indicating that the download started but quit after starting a block. In that case, the project was finished and there was no work available. No other projects were selected.

You can also get it if your computer does not qualify for the project(s) selected --- and no other projects were selected.
