	I do not remember my account name but I remember the email address that I used... is there a way to get access to my old account that way my credit score reflects my true time involved?

	Right off the front page is a link that reads, Special Instructions for SETI@Home Classic participants. Since you've already created a BOINC account to post here, I would suggest using the last link on that page under, "If you're already using BOINC". You only need your email address used when you signed up for SETI Classic. ____________

	No, there's no way to fix it. Only 1 SETI Classic account can be combined with 1 SETI-BOINC account. Once the information has been merged, there's no way to "un-merge" them. ____________

	Okay, i have both accounts, the year 2000 one and the new BOINC-account. Both of them do work, but how do i link them? I tried the "Transfer SETI@home Classic account" thing but it didn't seem to work. Maybe this was while my new account was working... I don't get it. I need instructions on that! ____________

You cannot merge Boinc accounts. Once a Classic account is linked to a Boinc account it can't be unlinked. The only choice is to pick one of the Boinc account and move forward with it leaving the other behind. ____________ Questions? Answers are in the "Unofficial" BOINC Wiki.

	I still can log into account but no longer have the software to run anything. When I load the new stuff is there something I need to do to make it go to the existing account. ____________

If by "the new stuff" you mean BOINC you have to attach to project. Switch BOINC Manager to Advanced Mode From Menu: Tools -> Attach to project.... Select SETI@home Select * Yes, existing user Enter (Copy/Paste from Your Account) the correct email address (as you see it in Your Account no matter is the email still valid) All the "stuff" SETI needs (programs + data) will then be downloaded and started automatically. ____________ - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)
