The news entry says "If your cache is empty of all valid workunits and you have any of the bogus workunits, then reset the project."

I detached from the project, and the messages said "resetting project". But the bogus workunits didn't disappear. I uninstalled boinc, and reinstalled it. They're still there!

Please help. What am I doing wrong? How do I get rid of these blighters?

My guess would be:

1. Uninstall BOINC
2. Delete the folder as it seems as though the directory isn't completely removed
3. Re-install BOINC

That should do as there are no more workunits or anything on your comp..

You're right. That took care of it. Thanks!

Right click on the project, select reset.

Answer "Yes" when asked if you really want to reset the project.

Worked fine for me, except that when I tried to get new WUs, I got this reponse:

SETI@home - 2004-08-27 00:45:09 - Message from server: No work available
SETI@home - 2004-08-27 00:45:09 - No work from project

Due to the database performance, the transitioners are roughly running 12 hours behind our current time.

Basically that means that from the time we fixed the splitters it'll take 12 hours before the transitioners hit the new batch of workunits.

You should not need to "Reset" unless you have "Bogus" work units.

I just finished my last two wu's and low and behold, as the last wu was
uploading, here comes two more just in time for my P4-HT rig. :)
