I have seven units that are expired.  My dual CPU win XP pro box
running boinc is working on two of them.  I assume the others will
also be crunched eventually, probably next since they are next on the
list.

Is there a way to delete these units so the program can get to the
unexpired ones?

I have not experimented with deleting workunits in my queue so cannot say
what would happen if you deleted them.

I have never found a way to do just one or two units.

However, when you complete them and send in the result you will get credit
for them if they validate. Have you checked to see if they have been awarded
credit to anyone yet?

They will ONLY validate IF no one from the resent units has returned
one yet. After 14 days the units "expires" and is sent out again for
crunching. IF one of those units gets returned BEFORE the original
posters units are returned the original posters crunching is for
nothing.

I would suggest reducing you cache size so this won't happen again.

EXCELLENT suggestion.

Here are two workunits that disprove that theory. I should have put them in my first post.
