    Well I got this idea in my head to try Ubuntu on my Win XP system to see if there was any performance difference with e@h.

    So I installed 10.10 with wubi. Way too buggy to continue. When I put the manager in advanced mode it flashes and quits. So I'm going to try 10.04.

    The problem is that I have 12 tasks assigned to that machine that won't expire until NEXT YEAR (well it's only 1/3).

    It's not just e@h thats acting weird.

    Can I delete them from here?

        Thanks.

        Oh well, I guess I have to let them expire.

        BTW 10.04 works fine on that machine.

          You can try to merge the "Computers" which represent the same real computer.
          http://einsteinathome.org/account/106100/computers
          http://einsteinathome.org/host/3777229

          Look at the bottom of pages
          (some conditions may prevent the merge, just try and see)

            As far as I can tell, I have to merge them by host/domain name and because of shared disks I name different boot os's on the same hardware differently. Not to mention I foolishly registered the bad one before setting the host name so it is the generic "ubuntu".

            Thanks for the suggestion, though. You're teaching me more and more about the way things work.

              If you press Merge at the bottom of e.g. this page:
              http://einsteinathome.org/host/3777229

              Merge duplicate records of this computer Merge

              you will be presented a list to choose from e.g.
              "
              Merge computers

              Sometimes BOINC assigns separate identities to the same computer by mistake. You can correct this by merging old identities with the newest one.

              Check the computers that are the same as XXXyyyZZZ (created 20 Dec 2010 5:58:08 UTC, computer ID 3777229):

              "

              Compare the computer ID in the Merge page with the same ID on this page to know which is which:
              http://einsteinathome.org/account/106100/computers

              Check the one you think is the same and press
              [Merge hosts] button

                That seem to do it. The trick was to go to the individual computer not the list of computers.

                Thank you!
