It shows 2 PC's and no matter what I do they wont merge. I'm running only one PC. This problem could have arisen because I left the project and then came back after several months.
I have a similar problem over at CPDN, but my Predictor account merged just fine.
Should I worry about it?

The problem is that different versions of BOINC generate different strings for the OS and the CPU for identification. These strings must match in order for a merge to be possible. However, once a computer has had all of its results removed from the database (this is a normal cleanup step, and does not affect the science) that computer may be deleted.

Thanks for the info. The older item is carrying all my credits, such as they are, the newer one which I created I guess when I downloaded Boinc again last week, is showing 0 credit.
Should I delete the newer one? If so, how?
