Firefox Posted May 10, 2012 ID:550402 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Did you just now take that screenshot? If so perhaps you may be getting the error due to the date on your computer. Is your date off? Or are you showing the DD/MM/YYYY. Just a thought.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivealive Posted May 10, 2012 Author ID:550403 Share Posted May 10, 2012 the date is correct it shows 2:32pm on 10/05/2012 (which is the correct time its the same as my phone and tv and just an fyi its eastern time zone) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted May 10, 2012 ID:550404 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Did you just now take that screenshot? If so perhaps you may be getting the error due to the date on your computer. Is your date off? Or are you showing the DD/MM/YYYY. Just a thought....Great minds think alike!I don't know diddly squat about computers, but I also noticed that your date format is in "European" format.FWIW, I just opened my event viewer, and the date format is US: "5/10/2012".That kinda makes sense when you read the text of your error message about dates not being correct, etc.I assume that would also contribute to your Windows Updates problems and potentially other programs having trouble updating.When the system date/time are "off", that screws up lots of things...OK, now I'll let the pros help, daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivealive Posted May 10, 2012 Author ID:550406 Share Posted May 10, 2012 aah no the error message is from that time i noticed it when i restarted my computer following your advice about the windows updates so the message is a few hours old at this time.and the computer has always shown the date like that ( i got my computer from dell and the date has always shown like that and it is set for eastern time zone)funny enough though when i mouse over the clock it says may-10-2012 Thursdayso maybe it is different meh i dont know how to fix it but its always been like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted May 10, 2012 ID:550407 Share Posted May 10, 2012 aah no the error message is from that time i noticed it when i restarted my computer following your advice about the windows updates so the message is a few hours old at this time.It's not the time that's off, but the DATE.BTW, there will be 1000s, if not millions, of "events" in the event viewer.Unless you're troubleshooting a specific issue and have expert help, I've always found it to be an unnecessarily stressful and generally unhelpful endeavor to go leafing through them all.Especially without the help of someone who knows how to interpret the gobbledy gook.and the computer has always shown the date like that ( i got my computer from dell and the date has always shown like that and it is set for eastern time zone)That's odd -- are you in Europe?I've had 5 or 6 Dells in the US and they've never come with a European date setting.I know that one can change it in the Control Panel, but I've never had to do that.The convention in the US is MM/DD/YYYY, while in most of the rest of the world, it's DD/MM/YYYY (which is what your computer shows).I have no idea if the date format can screw things up as badly as having a wrong date or time... OK, well, this is clearly out of my range of expertise.Sorry for butting in -- I just happened to make the same observation that Firefox did, and he knows FAR more than I.So, I thought we might be on to something.Hope you get it sorted,daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivealive Posted May 10, 2012 Author ID:550411 Share Posted May 10, 2012 But the date isn't wrong it is the 10 of may 2012. I live in canada and the laptop has never left the city nevermind the country.i did go into the calender settings and reset it to default it still shows the clock as 10/05/2012also it appears that canada uses all 3 date representations so mine isnt "wrong"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_in_Canadaits interchangible aparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted May 10, 2012 ID:550416 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Canada?!?!?!That likely explains it. What is the convention for writing dates there?I gather it's the same as the rest of the world (DD/MM/YYYY).Only we oddballs in the US use MM/DD/YYYY. Well, so much for that theory...daledoc1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
