Hi ! Recently i \'ve changed OS (XP home> XP Pro) and when i restart the CP project BOINC has reload all the components plus a new WU. Now on my account there are signed 2 computers, but i have only 1; the old WU is lost (sorry !), but on my account is again in charge at the old OS. Can i do something for this ?
Another question: when i run \"show graphics\" for CP, come out only an all black window, why? There\'s some solution for this ?
Many thanks for your patience.

Don't know about the first problem. For the all black graphics, have you updated your video drivers to their latest version?

When you change operating systems, BOINC creates a new host ID because of differences in possible results from the system.
