The is only 5 WU showing on my screen at one time, the others that have been done are all gone, I know there was a pending one but cannot see it as it has disappeared. How do I keep tract of all the WU that have been done and if they have been validated or not when they are not on the screen?

Completed work Units gone

After validation, the task outcome (result) is written to the science database. You and your wingman are getting credit, which is stored in the BOINC database.

The project deletes tasks that have validated after 24 hours or so. It won't keep all tasks done in view forever, as that takes up valuable (BOINC) database space.

If you want to track all tasks your computer ever ran, you will have to turn to third party software, such as BOINCSpy or BOINCLogX.

Thank you, it at least clears

Thank you, it at least clears that up.
Just one other question, what are the credits for?
I have looked around and seen a lot of stuff about credits how they work, what you get etc, but cannot find any thing saying what they are actually for.

BE CAREFUL...that leads to MANY more as you see progress, I started with 1 pc in 1999 and now have 16 running!! It also leads to a HUGE electric bill too!!!
