I've just decommissioned an old Windows computer and turned it off, but before I did, I "detached" it from the SETI@Home project. However, the computer's name is still showing up in the list of "computers on my account".

How do I get it off of the list?

Thanks,
Ed

The Win2k system?
There are still a couple of results listed against that computer. Once they have been cleared up by Seti you can probably merge the old Computer with the new one using the "Merge by name" option at the bottom left of your Computers page.

Correct, the Win2k system.

The domain names are different (the new one is ETJ_II and the old one is ETJ_PROD), and I didn't think merge would work in this situation.

Thanks,
Ed

Never done it myself; you can only try.

Once there are no results left for the computer then you can delete it in the computer list after selecting the computer. Bring up he computer details that you want to delete and when there are no more results there will be a delete as well as a merge function at the bottom of the screen.
