Thanks a zillion! > If you want the correct date and time why not get your time from your ISP using a program like netdate, thats an easy way out, which i normaly use, i just realised my date was something like Dec 20 1998, how it got like that i dont know, however 'netdate ISP.com' or 'rdate ISP.com' will set your system time to your isp's time, normaly he will get his time from a central date server somewhere. -- Regards Richard.
