Swimmer Posted June 18, 2007 CID Share Posted June 18, 2007 Sounds like the date in the bios is off.. boot the computer and enter the bios.. There should be a page for date and time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted June 18, 2007 CID Share Posted June 18, 2007 That shouldn't change if you reformat.. Try this.. Double click the clock, make sure that your time zone is correctly selected, then go to Internet Time use the drop down menu and select time-a.nist.gov. Then run the update.
