172660 2003-09-03 01:49:00 Hoping for some help/information on following
On 14.06.2004 system calendar changed year to 2008- Only became aware when NAV2003 showed expiry of subscription-very helpful operator gave great info to synchronized calendar but he suggested that it may have been caused by pending battery failure & to keep a check on it. About every week Event viewer/system shows an event id 35 W32 Time check to synchronize time. Have sent several reports to MS but they have no information. Does this seem like a pending battery failure or some thing totally unrelated?
Xp SP1 Home, Nav 2003, Adaware updated, patched & scanned weekly
Thanks in advance

172661 2003-09-03 02:00:00 A dying battery will normally cause the crystal clock to stop long before the memory location storing the year is lost. Date and time information is not inclued in the checksum of the CMOS memory, so you wouldn't see an error message at boot time if that info was wrong, bu if it's wrong, so is everythin g else. :D

The year is changed only a second after 23:59:59 on December 31.

Have you got an automatic Internet Time client setting the time/date from some odd place?

If all else fails, check the stockmarket conditions for 2008, and invest. :D

172664 2003-09-03 06:51:00 Double click on the time at bottom right hand side (in that bottom bar) There will open up a new window where you can change date & time. Click on the top tab that says internet time and select another source. Pheonix (280)
