	Hallo! Recently I have reinstalled the OS en one of my machines, and of course, the BOINC programms too. Now, when I read the statistics this machine appears twice in, the older and the new installed ones. I remember that in earlier times there was a button called "merge" or something else at the end of the computers list, but now it is no more there. I saw accidentally this button in some place no too long ago, but now I can't find it. Somebody could tell me how should I do to merge two similar (In fact, the same) machines? Thank you in advance! ____________

	Richard, Yes, the button still exists. Try click this link and follow the instructions on the page; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/merge_by_name.php Or you could visit each computer individually by visiting the following page and clicking the word "Details" beside that computer; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/hosts_user.php Then the "Merge" button also appears on the bottom of that page! For you Richard, This computer; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6718757 And this one; http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6129492 Are the same computer. You should see the "Merge" button on the bottom of either page. John. ____________
