   I installed todays giveaway, then went to the site for the patch, and got this address not found.
   I was able to load the page once, then it went back to address not found.
   Can the patch be installed anytime? Or does that have to be today too?

   Also, I find it hard to believe that the last comment on the giveaway was at 5:52 am, unusual for moderation to take so long, related to the lack of a game?

   Hi SusanIAm, Here are a few links for PD Particles :

   The program : http://www.thebest3d.com/pdp/index.html

   The patch : http://www.thebest2d.com/pdp10a/index.html

   (You must give an Email address to get the link so use a disposable if you have one) or use http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/

   Please mind the following information (Excerpts from the README file):

   --- PD Particles Update Patch 1.0a ---------------------------

   This folder contains an update to PD Particles 1.0. It is delivered in the form of a single file named PD_Particles.exe which replaces the file of the same name found in the original installation folder of PD Particles 1.0

   --- Intended Use License Agreement ----------------------------

   The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. In no event shall TheBest3D.com or Dan Ritchie be liable for any claim, damages or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with the installation of, or use, or other dealings in PD Particles.

   --- Installation -----------------------------------------------

   By proceeding with the installation of this patch, you are aknowledging your acceptance of the above agreement. If you do not agree, do not install or otherwise use this software. If you agree, proceed as follows:

   If PD Particles 1.0 is currently running, be sure to exit and end the program. During the course of this update, you will replace an existing file named PD_Particles.exe' with a new version.

   As a safety precaution, you may want to make a backup copy of the current file, or rename it (such as to something like PD_Particles-old.exe) so you can easily locate it if need be.

   Also, if you never made a backup copy of the original, downloaded installer of PD Particles 1.0 which you received with your purchase or download, then this might be a perfect time to do so and burn a backup copy of the original installer onto a CD, for example.

   Just in case something goes wrong with the update and you decide you want to re-install the original.

   The default location of an installation of PD Particles 1.0 should be located at C:\Program Files\PD Particles

   This is probably also where your installation went.

   However, if you installed yours in a different location, then you will need to find that folder.

   If you don't remember where it is, you can use the Windows Search utility to look for a file named PD_Particles.exe

   ======================================================================================
   I M P O R T A N T
   ======================================================================================

   There is no 'installer' for this patch. Instead, just copy the new main executable file: PD_Particles.exe [ size: 2.32 MB (2,437,120 bytes) ] into the folder where your current installation of PD Particles is located, and let it replace the current file of the same name.

   ======================================================================================

   That's it, your patch is done. (and yes, it can be done today or any other day.)

   Well, I managed to get the patch, but I am still having trouble with their site.
   Whenever I try to access it I get:
   Address Not Found
   http://www.thebest3d.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.
   The browser could not find the host server for the provided address.

   At first I assumed maybe they were temporarily down, but I was getting a little worried, as no one else has mentioned having this problem.
   I have managed once to get to the main page and the patch download page.
