Hi
my Seti BoinC [6.10.58 ver] was ok on Saturday 27-10-2012
after PC (Win7) restart BoinC reported it wasn't attached to a Project
I've managed that , but all my previous tasks have gone
would anybody know why that would happen ? thanks

It appears when you re-attached most of the tasks were "abandoned"

Host 6618285 Abandoned Tasks

Don't worry, they will be sent to someone else.

This happened to me after a a power failure crashed my computer and corrupted the client_state.xml file.

Not much you can do about it unfortunately but reattach.

The units you had on board will be dead, but are still on your HDD. They will never be crunched and will just sit there taking up space, so it's a good idea to go to the /boinc_data/setiathome.berkeley.edu folder and delete them.
