Dead? (United States)

It appears that Ralph is dead or, at least, dormant. BOINC manager is complaining about not being able to make contact. So, I was going to Detach the project, but that option is grayed out. How con I detach it? Or, would it be OK go just go through the BOINC Data folder and remove all references to Ralph?

I bet if you just remove the Ralph folder from your BOINC folders then restart the BOINC manager you'd get rid of the Ralph listing

I removed every reference to Ralph in the BOINC_Data folder. The other stuff seems to be running just fine.

Thanks for the confirmation as to what I should do.

I'm still finding places that Ralph is referenced. It still keeps coming back. I've just removed more references. It's alive!

So is it actually showing up in your boinc manager or is it just registry lines

No registry entries. There were entries in some of the control files in the BOINC_DATA folder. I had to do a "find this string within a file" type of search to find all the entries.

Since the RALPH web site seems to be down, I can't get into it and "deregister". Also, for some reason, BOINC Manager won't let me "detach" from the project.
