Report deadline missed.

(moderation:
hi there,
for some reason, I've missed the report deadline (I have no idea why this happened, BOINC is running always on my computer, I do not turn it off). But the problem is that it still computes the WUs with the wrong date that is reported (for instance, see http://einsteinathome.org/workunit/427995). Let's say I'm working on WU that has deadline today and is reported as Over and No reply. But I'm affraid I'll continue computing all other such WUs and I'll miss other deadlines for valid WUs. How to manage this situation? Makes it sense to compute such WUs? What to do? I don't want to waste my computing power since this doesn't help to comunity...
thanks for any hint.
Joseph

If you don't have already the v4.25 of Boinc, you can install this one.
First uninstall the old version after closing it. Then install the new one using the same location as the original one.
Once that is done, you can abort some of the WU's that will definitely pass the deadline if you want.
One other thing you might want to do: set the "connect to" at a lower level as your PC needs some 10h. to crunch one WU and you download some 7 to 8 WU's in one time which is probably too high. After having changed this value in your preferences, don't forget to do an "Update".
