I have BoincTasks installed to Windows 7 & have a computer in my list that no longer is operational. I can remove it from the 'Computers' tab, but it remains in the leftmost column & I can't figure out how to remove it.

Please help.

Thanks,

Removing it from the Computes tab list should do the trick.
Select a comptuter and go to Computer -> Remove Computer

Manually.

Exit BoincTasks.

Go to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\eFMer\BoincTasks

Make a backup copy of computers.xml

Open computers.xml with notepad.

Remove everything from and including
<computer>
</computer>

Restart BoincTasks.

Thanks,. There wasn't an entry for the computer that remained in the left column, so I just deleted the .xml file entirely & restarted the app, which effectively removed the missing computer.
