I have one of those VISTA's too, and when I removed the battery and cleared the BIOS (cmos ) my date returned to the build date in 2001. Right click on the clock in your bottom bar, then on reset clock, reset it and you are done. Be sure to replace the battery,
it's a #2032 built like a quarter! AL SMITH

This is three times in the last two or three months that I have had problems
getting this IBM NetVista P4 (purchased off lease) PC to even boot up. Then
when it finally does, the system date has been reset to 1/1/2000. And that
gives me all kinds of security alerts when I try to acdess a web site. I've
seen this problem listed before sometime in the past and believe it's a
battery problem for the cmos (did I say that right?). But would like a
confirmation. Thanks.
