In my account I have the same computer listed three times, but the description is different so it won't let me merge them. If I delete two of them do I lose the credits that was granted to each? I was trying a different OS so it was listed as a different comluter each time.

As far as I know you can not delete a system that has processed any WUWUs

It's my understanding the the credits are for your account, not tied to individual cpu...

I've moved boxes in and out of my pharm - never noticed any prob, but my credit history keeps track of 'em all...

Just one omniscient beings humble opinion

You will not be able to delete a computer even if it has only had one WU downloaded to it. It doesn't matter if you process it and return the result.

you could try "merging" all those pc's into one via your account info.

still boinc/seti is plagued by hardware failure's, pompom :)

if its the same pc (same hardware) it must merge, no troubles ever encoutered with that part of seti/boinc.

Sorry about the double post.

Paul the link you posted looks like the solution that I'm looking for.

"The key to this is the "hostid" in your client_state.xml file"

Only one small problem..Where do I find the client_state.xml file.

Hi All,
I thought Boinc was set up so that you could not Delete any Computer that had Credits on it. Did I interprit this wrong.

You should be able to merge them. I had to computers when I started out on SAH II - the first one being my fathers and the second my own. My fathers computer had downloaded one wu. When I uninstalled boinc, I thought I could delete the computer from my account, but I couldn't. But I could merge it with my own. And these computers are totally different.

Perhabs you tried to merge in some wrong order or something. I think I remember something about the order has some kind of significans...

It deosn't have to have credits for it to be undeletable.
