So my main computer is showing about 40 cpu work units in the BOINC manager. However the task page for this computer shows 3200+ active tasks mostly gpu work units. Where did they go? I also have nearly 900 error work units mostly expired/timed out work units. Can I reload any of them?

I normally run 6 cpu and 4 gpu tasks at the same time... My average has taken a huge dive in the last week.

Help...

'Resend lost tasks' option is ON at the moment (set on the server by staff at the lab, not by you)
so you will get those tasks (20 at a time) when your BOINC asks for work
like this:

15/11/2012 20:30:11 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.
15/11/2012 20:30:11 SETI@home Reporting 3 completed tasks, requesting new tasks for CPU

This applies only to 'In progress' tasks that are shown on site but are not in your computer.
'Timed out - no response' tasks will not be sent to you but to somebody else.
