<li>Attach all desired projects to the BOINC client of the machine that is running your wallet, if they are not already

<li>Go to your Projects tab and enable "No new tasks" for each project</li>
<li>Go to your Tasks tab and cancel all existing tasks (this is needed, otherwise BOINC may not actually “Update” when
requested in subsequent steps)</li>
<li>Back in the Projects tab, for each project, select “Allow new tasks” and press “Update”, then press “No new tasks” when
complete and abort any tasks it downloaded. The project update process will take about 10 seconds for each project. You
can monitor this progress by going to Tools → Event Log...</li>
<li>Check your CPIDs on the projects' site or in the Gridcoin "Researcher Configuration" wizard</li>
<li>If they are still not consistent wait a few minutes before attempting these steps again<br>
