    Resolved [RESOLVED] Y2K+1 Bug

    Every morning when I boot my computer, using WIN 98SE, I am at the year 2000. This started on Jan. 1, 2001.
    I double click on My Computer|Control Panel|Date/Time.
    I use the up arrow to advance the year from 2000 to 2001, click on Apply and then on OK.
    Every thing is fine the rest of that day, no matter how many time I shut down and reboot my computer.
    However, when I boot up the next day, there I am back to 2000.
    I did not make any changes to my computer or add any new programs during the last week of 2000.
    Does anyone know what can be causing this?
    Is there a solution to the problem?

    Is it a custom built computer or a maor manufacturer
    if ajor just do a search on the manufacturers website to see if there are any updates for it.
    if custom write down all information you see when it boots and post it here we'll help you locate it
