Guest Jack Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Windows did it to me! Something is wrong with the clock. I have corrected it earlier in the day. Now is after midnight, 1:40 am (EST) but my clock shows yesterday date! Why?

Guest R. McCarty Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Re: Windows security alerts You open the Security Center applet in Control Panel ( Classic View ) and modify the notifications of the different monitored items.

Sorry, I'm not in front of an XP box right now.

Then choosing the 'Custom' option, Windows begin a will scan of your PC. Next list the updates that are available for your PC will be displayed. From the displayed list of updates I then remove the checkmarks from any of the updates that I do not want installed. Note: You will be asked to review the updates you have selected to be installed before Windows starts the download and install process. I do not "ever" download and install drivers from Microsoft, far too often they cause more problems then they fix.

Guest Jack Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Re: Windows security alerts OK. Something is playing havoc with the computer's clock, and it is not me! As you noticed earlier, the date was not corect, but I did not changed it! Now, I've noticed that the clock was set to PM instead of AM! What can cause that?
