850887	2010-01-24 23:36:00	Thanks, I'll try the system restore to say a month prior and if that doesn't work will install XP on another partition and see if still occurs. If so, will look at getting a new system as case and mboard getting old now	Alank (10156)
850888	2010-01-24 23:41:00	Have you installed any cracks/patches for any programs? Some like to work on reverting the clock back to a date before the program expires so it stays free. Just a thought.	trinsic (6945)

850890	2010-01-25 20:09:00	Last night I installed XP on a new partition so that it is dual booting with the old for the time being. The windows clock is fine on the fresh install :) No idea what is wrong on the old as never could find. I only had system restores going back to the beginning of this month and the 1/1/2010 failed to work. Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone. Alan	Alank (10156)

I wonder if it is some rootkit that loads even in safe mode, pretending to be a highly critical system service or something. Try scanning the old install of Windows for viruses from the new one you just did. OR do you have anything installed that still runs, even in safe mode, that isn't a windows system service\process? Those security programs you spoke of, would they still run in safe mode?	Agent_24 (57)
