If I were to re-install windows on a computer that is already running BOINC, when I bring it back online will my computers page in S@H detect it as a new computer? If so, is there a way to indicate to S@H that it is actually the same computer that was previously running BOINC? I just want to keep my computer stats neat and not have duplicate listings of the same computers. Thanks.

To retain all work and keep the same computer ID:


1. Uninstall BOINC. It's a non-destructive uninstaller that leaves all work behind.

2. Backup your BOINC data folder. Typically the folders are:

Windows 7: C:\ProgramData\BOINC
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BOINC

3. Re-install Windows.

4. Restore the BOINC folder to its respective location.

5. Install BOINC. The installer is also non-destructive and will simply copy the BOINC files to the right folder and automatically detect the work in the right folders and pick up where it left off.

sounds great.Thank You!!
