(moderation:
My tasks doesn't report back that they're done - and that's a huge problem cause the expiry time is getting closer and i have no clue on how i manually make them report back, that they're completed.
Please HELP - I don't have so much time left.

Don't they upload at all or just need to be reported?
If the former, there will be error messages in BOINC manager's Messages tab that you should copy&paste here, so that someone can analyze them.
If the latter, there's no need to worry, as BOINC will care for reporting before deadline.

If you click the 'view computers' link on your account page on the website, you will see two seemingly identical computers listed there. perhaps you really do have two computers but I suspect that you only have one and it has somehow been 'double registered' with the project. Is it possible that you have two separate BOINC installations in different directories on the one host?
I suspect something like this because one host ID first fired up on June 1st and last communicated on June 5 and then the second host ID appeared on June 6 and has been in communication (including the return of completed work) ever since. The first host will be in deadline trouble but the second is running fine. So, how many hosts do you actually have? If it is only one and if you can identify the two separate installations and if the first one does have completed tasks ready to report, you may be able to shut down (temporarily) the second instance and fire up the original one and report the completed work there.
If you do actually have two hosts, you need to investigate why the one registered on June 1st stopped communicating on June 5. You haven't suspended the project or turned off network access in BOINC Manager by any chance? What is the status of each task as listed on the tasks tab of BOINC Manager?
Cheers,
Gary.

Right click the Boinc icon down by the clock, left click on the top line and Boinc Manager will open, click on the Projects tab and then the project you want to update and then left click on the update tab on the left. Now if you have multiple installations, etc, etc see the other posts in this thread. But this will get those units sent back right away if that is the only problem.
