I signed up for Rosetta today... All went well on all the computers, except one, that I attached to the Rosetta project. On one computer, I see in my computer list, 2 ID' #'s for the same computer. I did update...still on 2 list. Did log off..log in...still on 2 list. Did detach from Rosetta project...still on 2 on list!!?? Not sure what happened. Should I wait until a later time to give the Rosetta servers time to update...maybe then the 2 ID's will be gone. Stu (Easypick) ID: 11629 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Read some past forum messages and found out what merge computer option does. Seems Boinc will double an ID once in awhile. Crunch on....:) ID: 11631 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Stu (Easypick) You will have to merge the two computers to fix the problem. This happens sometimes. When you merge them all the credits will merge as well. Go to the list of computers pick one of the two that are the same. At the bottom of the display for the computer you will see an option to merge the computer. Click that and the system will display the other computer that can be merged. Select that computer and they will be merged.
