I just noticed that one of my computers seems to have cloned itself on my account. There aren't any tasks associated with it, but it's a duplicate computer, with a new ID.

Why would that have happened?

I does happen randomly at times, did you do a hardware change?

Just an interrupted communication with the servers can cause that Gordon.

Cheers.

You should be able to Merge Computers, so they will be one again.

I guess it won't go away by itself, then?

If it's the same computer, they should merge into one, if you request it.

If you merge PCs, then the newest ID will be used.

In your case, I would delete just the new PC ID.

On the bottom of this page you can press 'Delete this computer' (just you see this Link if you are logged in).
