Sounds like some internal device has 'gone' and it's reverted to its factory settings! If everything else is working, shouldn't be a problem - my clock doesn't work properly either! |

Just right click on the clock on the task bar and click on adjust time and date. Then change it to the right date and time. I found once that when mine did this I couldnt get any sites as I didnt have the "correct security certificate" (Dont ask me what that means) Margaret |

Your sytsem date is not just a calendar. If it's not up to date you can have all sorts of problems with site certificates and updates etc. In Xp control panel there is an internet time option but it's sometimes a bit flakey. If you have further problems try http://www.worldtimeserver(.)com/atomic-clock/ This will keep your time and date correct to one second. There are others but some are a bit suspect Bob |
