system restore issue
Okay heres the deal; Today I go to create a restore point - just for the heck of it - only when i open the program, and select to create a point, the next page, where the calender is, is messed up. the calender says it is dec 30th 1899 (thats not a typo either guys) and that there have been no points created for the day. The arrows do not take me anywhere except the same date and i tried to highlight the text of the year date and change it manually but no dice.
The thing is though, that windows has the correct date and year etc everywhere else i looked. For modification dates of files and the taskbar, everywhere. What the hell did i do.....cause i honestly cannot think of anything. I even went and restored everything in my recycle bin, i undid any and every cleaning process or anything even remotely similar in an effort to get the date in restore to, well, restore!!! I don't even know when it happened as i have not needed to restore in a while. Since i don't leave my computer on constantly it does not create the points very frequently, and so i just manually creted one about a week ago....I think it was fine then but to be honest i did not even look at the date the point was labeled with. Anybody ever heard of this quirk or have ideas to fix it.?? |

Pretty sure there is a patch for this on WIndows Update site.

As far as the date thing, make sure the date and time is correct in your BIOS.

Being that it's in the Win9x forum and that only WinME has the restore feature, I would say it's safe to assume he is running WinME

HAL,
Are you sure that Turbo did not install a aftermarket restore program on his machine? I have also used a Dell installed restore program that was on one of my older 98 systems. Assume nothing.... The possibilities are endless. |

sounds like a y2k issue. windows update or motherboard bios update. try windows first, if that don't get it bios.
