Default What's happening to my Seti@home prog. ??? Please read.

Greetings, I'm having some problems with my seti@home prog., that are
puzzling me ? This has not happened before. I just went online to return
some results, which in itself was a surprise, there was some sort of
confusion, my prog. was telling me that it cannot get new WU's until I
deleted a certain file (which I never created in the first place - and which
doesn't actually exist ?) THEN it retrieved a new unit ?! Now for some
reason, my seti monitor prog. is showing different info to the seti@home one
?!!! the details for this [same] WU do not match (ie, seti@home suggests
the WU is from 37:21:36 RA +17:13'47" Dec, but the monitor shows 37:22:31 RA
+ 17:13'30" - a reasonable difference astronomically !)
It would seem that I appear to be either working on/showing two distinctly
different WU's, or that one has disappeared completely ?! This might make
sense because I certainly didn't expect to need to get new WU's today - the
last time I checked it, earlier today, there was still at least 1 full unit
to do, or at minimum, 15 hrs worth ?! I don't believe this last unit could
have been completed so quickly, even IF it was full of rfi - in theory, seti
should still be working on the PREVIOUS WU ?!! I have no idea what has
happened, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has had something similar
happen to them and so might know what is going on here thus be able to tell
ME !
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Lurkey.
