Message 8605 - Posted: 4 Feb 2005, 8:39:14 UTC

Hi,
I've got 2 computers running climate, one at home and other at school.
Last December i formated my computer at home, and since then, in my statistics of Climate it shows that i have 3 computers: 2 at home and one at school.
When i go to "Merge this computer" on the oldest home-computer, there's not any other computer to merge with.

What should i do?
Thanks
Edmon
PD: Sorry for my English, because i'm Spanish ;-)

You have to do the merge on your newer home computer Edmon, but it may not be possible as they show up as different CPU types.

And why is that?
It's the same computer, formated as always, with the same OS.
If i can't merge that computer, it will be there as long i'm in Climate?
Thanks

Was the second computer created using the same version of BOINC as the first one? The way the CPU type is recorded has been changed a few times in BOINC. I'm sure that Berkeley have valid reasons for doing it, but ...

As far as I'm aware yes.

Ok, thanks for your help.
