When you reboot the lappy. Hit F8, it should be for yours, so it goes into the bios. Change the time in there. Then it won't be wrong as it doesn't go by time zones, it goes by what you put in there...

thats not entirely true mate, but your on the right track. the OS will confer with the BIOS regarding date and time, but inevitably it will look for an actual time server. there should be no reason why lucas's BIOS time would be different, when we helped him through the fresh install of his OS the BIOS battery wasnt removed, infact most computer bios batteries are soldered in as they should never be removed.Quote:

Some newer mobos now have a button, to short out and reset the BIOS, but even they have the battery slotted not soldered.
Whats rusty said was spot on, it should sync with the server, but I have seen it be out even when synced.

Mudski =P my cupboard is bigger than yours so ner hahahahahaha:

Sweet as! Thanks guys :-)
Long story short as I cannot be bothered explaining the situation...lol
Is there anything I can do to find out a computer password on windows 7 home premium edition?
There's no password hint and my brother changed the password years ago and can't remember it.
I can't find the cd either!!!!!
Thanks mate I think that's the only thing I can do now. I just don't know what's on the computer so will have to start again!Quote:
