I suspended my project to see the effect it would have on CPU usage etc and another project appeared. This project began to run. Stupidly, I did this twice and thought that I could just abort those two new projects and they would just go away. Instead they have stayed and are bot showing 100% and that they are \"ready to report\". What can I do to get rid of the two projects I created. I think I have messed up.

Re Suspending:
There are 3, in different places, each giving a different level of control.
1) In the menu; This suspends BOINC.
2) In the Projects tab; This suspends whichever project\'s name is highlighted.
3) In the work tab; This suspends whichever model is highlighted.

If you want to Suspend before Exiting, the one to use is 1).

If you use 3), BOINC soon thinks \"The science app isn\'t doing anything; It must have run out of work, so I\'ll get some more\". And you end up with 2 models.
So to use this one it is necessary to add an extra step first: In the projects tab, highlight the project whose model is going to be Suspended, and then click \"No new work\".

Re: 100% and Ready to report.
Usually means that the model has crashed. BOINC will pass this info to the server the next time it makes contact. To force this to happen now, go to the Projects tab, click on the project name to select it, and then click Update.

Also, you now have \'three\' computers in your account. If you go into your account, click on \'View computers\', and then click on one of them, at the bottom of the page you\'ll have an option to merge them back into one.
