Ok, I have found my issue, seems as though I added this 5th machine with my old nickname, so, this is good news actually, I have found my old seti account that
I thought was lost forever, there are quite a few credits posted to that old account, how can i move all the old credits and this 5th machine to my current account? merge or combine them, so i can delete the old account.

Thanks In Advance

restart your computer after detaching and uninstalling. After restarting check your registry and program folders for mentions of BOINC. I recall there being a few left overs even after an uninstall. then try to reinstall BOINC

Detach SETI and re-attach using the other account.
