I don't mind--it's still a miracle. :-) > Ann Gibbons > Hi Ann, At the rollover New Years Eve lots of older computers defaulted to Jan. 4th. 1980 (the inaugural date of the PC Dos used on the first IBM PC's) I simply set the date in my '89 386PC and once reset it's been fine. I know we used to simply have a Date & Time prompt in the AutoExec.Bat file on pre-AT PC's back in the dinasaur days and that still works on the museum pieces.... Try setting the Time and Date and let us know how ya come out...... regards ............ murray [log in to unmask]
