I would like to work on this project again, however my BOINC Manager has the following:
On the PROJECTS tab: "Won't get new work". Additionally, the DETACH button is not selectable.
When I try to reset the project, I get the following message: "Error in request message: No start tag.
Any help would be appreciated

On BOINC manager's Projects tab, click on the project name. If the Detach button is still grayed out then that might indicate you attached via an account manager. In that case you'll have to detach via the account manager.

If none of the above helps then you have to detach the "sneaky" way. I'll walk you through that if you find the above doesn't help.

I was using LHC@Home when I got a notice that there was a new URL for the project, so I added that project. Now I can't remove the old LHC@Home project, the option to do that on the BOINC Manager window is greyed out. There is no "Detach" button. I do have the option to remove the project listed with the new URL, but of course I don't want to do that. Resetting the project doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

How do I remove the LHC@Home project shown under the original URL? BOINC manager
gets mad at me for having the project listed twice.

Thanks very much for your help.
