In trying to find the date of a friend of mine's birthday, I rolled my clock forward to see what day it landed on (in 2006). I then, quite accidently, hit the Up button instead of the down, and changed it to 2007 instead of '05. Then, this morning, after a weekly restart, StyleXP popped up saying that the registration check failed because the clock had been rolled back. So, fuckberries, I uninstall and try to reinstall, and get the same problem when I try to register. Is there someway, save system recovery, that I can make my computer believe that it's actually the correct date and I didn't roll it back to sometime in the past?

And before you suggest the Windows auto-check on the clock, it can't hit those time servers while on campus for one reason or another.

[EDIT] It ate all my pervious recover points, so I can't do a system recovery to fix it. Le sigh, looks as if no one has any simple fixes, will get to spend my day doing a blasted format/reinstall

If you are having trouble connecting to outside ntp servers, I know umr hosts a few.

Would be good to know what those are.

And I decided to just go ahead and format and do a fresh install. Had been 9ish months since my last one, so I figured I might as well

go external hard drives!

NTP (Time)
==============
xntp-server-a.mst.edu
xntp-server-b.mst.edu
xntp-server-c.mst.edu

ADMIN EDIT: Changed urls to mst.edu

Thanks

If anyone cares about the campus ntp servers... they are still there. Just update the hostname to... xntp-server-a.mst.edu

holy dead thread, batman!

are you freakin kidding me? this like 2.5 years old. how far back did you have to go to find this?

i bet about 2.5 years.

i suspect he meant how many PAGES was it buried under
