Frenzy! Panic! Woe!

Argh. How does stuff like this happen?<br><br>Friday evening when I turned on my comp, I tried to run windows update. It died. Huh? And it wouldn't keep ezboard cookies. So I tried lots of things. Clear the internet cache, for starters, and kill all those little programs that IE is nice enough to download for you. Nope. Uninstall/Reinstall IE? Nope. With a sense of impending doom, I tried to download my latest bank statements. Nope. Ack.<br> <br>Not much else was behaving oddly, though. I was contemplating reinstalling the OS sometime, if I couldn't get this worked out. I was making no headway. I ran a full ad-aware scan on Friday, found and killed a few things, but didn't fix the problem. I'd run a full virus scan on Thursday night, and found nothing, though now Norton was advising me that my virus subscription had expired (it hasn't). <br><br>Anyone beginning to put it together yet? We've seen this before...<br><br>Finally I checked the logs in my firewall. The dates all said 2025. When I finally put that together in my head, and reset my system clock to the correct year, things were fine and dandy again.<br><br>DOH! <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
