Computer Timestamp...
To use a shareware product (not poker related), I want to set the date on my computer clock backwards.
If I set it to 2000, it screws up the days of the week. Therefore I want to set it to 1994. When I do this, I get a warning message when I start win XP, which says that the date on my computer is wrong. I'm also getting an error when I go to web pages with secure content that the cert is expired, and it prompts me to accept the site... This happens often enough to upset me. So I'm curious about a few things... --- 1) Why does win xp care what time it is? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Like, how does this affect the rest of the O/S? 2) Is there a safe way to shut off that thing that prompts me to verify my certs? I haven't been able to set internet security to medium-low, and my changes in custom settings in security and advanced options haven't worked... 3) Is there a firefox mod that lets you use all the IE hotkeys? This is the main reason that I'm unwilling to change over to firefox. I love my keyboard.

I.E. Could I set winxp date/time to 2005 (normal) and have the program that I want to run still believe that it's 1994? Man I hate this B.S.! Oh well... --Dave. |
