If you're using a fast PC, there are some buffers used by NCU that don't
seem to be able to keep up with the flow of data. You need to run one or
several instances of an application called "slowdown.exe" to slow down your
computer so that NCU will be able to keep up.
Do a search in the NewtonTalk archive for 'slowdown' and you should find
plenty of messages talking about it.
