Help/advice please

Situation:
I suspended my CPDN project on my PC for the Riesel Seive crunch. Went to Riesel Seive to get some wu, the site asked to download Boinc 5.10.30 which was an upgrade from the previous version on this computer, so I said yes and it duly loaded deleting the old one. When it did this it also gave me a new identity (account no. and cross project id) so I now have two Boinc setups, identical names and passwords. With Timby's ( TY Timby) help in the chatroom on Sunday I have located the suspended CPDN project on my hard drive but can't figure out how to restart it, boinc manager is only showing the Riesel projects which will finish today. I would like to recover this because it is over 47% complete.
I have just attached the new boinc id to CPDN and now have another wu which I have suspended to complete riesel, no sign of previously suspended project. Also CPDN had given this machine another id as well but this is sorted with a merge.
In addition to this minor problem my fruit machine (imac) broke at the w/e which has two wu's running on it on the original boinc id, hopefully these will still be ok when it is repaired, but will need to be linked to whichever id I can keep going. I'm fairly sure it is only the power supply that has failed so hopefully the hard drive won't have been affected, if it has then this bit could be academic. :(
