Hi
Could you please adjust your Time Zone settings?
You are posting in the future.Please follow the advice below. Don't just
look at your clock then your watch and think there is nothing wrong with
it,there is.

1. Double click the time in the lower right corner of the system tray.
2. In the dialog box that pops up select the *Time Zone* tab.
3. Use the drop down menu to select the correct entry for "your" TIME ZONE
4. Also, Check the box marked Daylight Savings Time and make sure your date
and year are correct.
5. Then click OK to save it.

Hopefully someone will be along shortly to help you with your question.

I'm curious. Did fixing the date fix your problem?

Logins to web pages as you describe are controlled by cookies
(normally). Cookies can have expiry dates. With your computer in the
future, who knows how the developers of the web site software
interpreted info in the cookies. It's application specific not under
XP's control. Having a good date on your computer might be the first
step to fixing the problem
