system date and time
Have an old program that manufacturer has decided to not support. Would like
to attempt to set system date and time prior to 1/1/2000 or prior to 1/1/2003. Are there any issues with XP home and the MS operating system in which changing the system date and time could cause issues? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Hi
Yes - there are a lot of issues. The main one being associated with Windows Update. Changing the date/time will throw WU out of sync - not to mention other Windows apps. that you have installed. -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "rtkaba" wrote in message ...

Absolutely!
Every automatic update from antivirus to your anti spyware definition files (including all program updates where you go to the manufacturers website) relies upon your computer having the correct date - so they know what you need. Then there is Windows update! -- Regards, Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!
