My question is that on my results page I have 5 models that failed to start due to incorrect settings of my proxy server. I want to remove these results out of the list. How do I do this?
Can this be done?

Also how do I remove a computer from my list that no longer exist (It has done no work IE no Credits)?

Thanks FRED

Afraid there really isn't a mechanism for deleting records like this

I also had models I wanted to get rid of prior to restarting from scratch. They had either failed to start at all or had prematurely terminated.

On my Windows 2000 Prof system, I located them through Start- Search- For files or Folders- and typed in BOINC. Masses of files appeared of course. It was not worth backing up any of the models because none of them had got past phase 1. At this point you can pick out the individual models if they are still there and delete them manually, making sure you recognise and only delete the model reference numbers.

Or you can do what I did, which was to delete everything and start again from scratch with a fresh cpdn download. This way, I was able to rethink my preferences ab initio, hoping to make better choices this time. Amazingly, I did not lose the credits for the failed models.
