I ran this program - 2000.exe and it said I have a problem with my_system_in this regard. Programs, however are another matter. However, it seems a manual reboot may be all that is required to remedy it. Try the 'boot disc' set of instructions (below), this whole thing may not be such a big scare after all. I rebooted with a new sys disc and entered a new date and rebooted with the new date appearing. So I will only have to enter the year 2000 date when the time comes within the DOS system to set the BIOS correct only once. (I think it's something like that). There's time yet, but I'm not worrying. Jon Page (There is more info in the readme.txt file but I though this would help the most). I got this Y2K.exe from RevJohn and could forward it to anyone interested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Test Instructions 1. Boot to DOS. 2. Execute 2000.EXE 3. Read the results on your monitor. If YMark2000 should recommend a manual reboot test, perform the following steps: 1. Create a DOS boot diskette and use it to boot the system you want to test. Be sure you are using DOS version 3.2 or higher. 2. Set the date into the Year 2000 using the DATE command and reboot the system. LEAVE THE BOOT DISKETTE IN THE DISKETTE DRIVE. 3. Check the date after the reboot. If it is the same as the date set in step 2 then you will need to set the date one time only once. 4. Be sure to restore the computer's date to today's date!
