| 158041 | 2003-07-07 08:09:00 | We have an old computer which gets used rarely and the other day I turned it on just to check it out. Still seems to be working ok but......... Worked out how to change the time and that is working nicely now, but how to change the date seems to elude me. At the moment it is showing the year as 2003 but it is about three months behind. Can't seem to find anywhere to make the necessary changes. Windows 3.11 shows when computer starts up. Any suggestions? Thanks Iris |

| 158042 | 2003-07-07 08:18:00 | My memory is a little rusty but this may work: Boot to a DOS prompt and type in DATE. Change the date to 07-07-03. |

| 158043 | 2003-07-07 08:32:00 | The time can also be changed in DOS by typing the command time from the C:\> prompt. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 158044 | 2003-07-07 08:38:00 | Oh, and of course as well changing date and time from DOS, there should be a Date/Time icon in the Control Panel window which is in the window headed Main, along with File Manager, Print Manager, MS-DOS Prompt, Windows Setup, Pif Editor, and Read Me icons | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
