I know this questions has been asked (and answered) before - but I can't locate the last occasion.
Somehow my cross project ID for Primegrid has changed to a different ID for everything else . How do I go about rectifying this?
Thanks!

Re: Cross Project ID
The easy way is to run the same project all the time on all your devices. A project like wuprop is ideal for this as it runs in the background. If you do this your cpid should sort itself in a day or so.

Re: Cross Project ID
Hi,
It's also a good idea to ensure you use the exact same email address for each project you sign up to. Then give it a while for the various projects to catch up and sync the ID's and you're good.

Re: Cross Project ID
Thanks for the comments guys. I've just realised that the fault has occurred since my main computer had a hard drive failure, which of course then meant reinstalling windows, etc. Since then I've only run Primegrid on it, but I'll try Janos's suggestion and maybe run a couple of other projects I've previously run and see if that does the trick. I've only ever used the one email address, Tim, so I don't think that's behind it.

Ok - just checking
When you re-installed Windoze, then if you restarted on PrimeGrid, then the project would recognise it as a new PC and assign a new "computer number" on that project to it....though, it should have aligned the ID's after a while...
Maybe if you can run the same project on a different PC (that had run the project before and hence the project would recognise it), it might help ?

Re: Cross Project ID
Now you've mentioned it Tim, it does run on another machine, and had been doing before the main machine failed and required re-installing. Maybe it's that one that was the culprit - although that one has also run Rosetta without changing the ID. I'll try another project today and keep an eye on what happens.UBT - Timbo wrote:Maybe if you can run the same project on a different PC (that had run the project before and hence the project would recognise it), it might help ?
