Time Error

[THEWOOD]

My laptop is having a minor issue, atleast thats what I hope. It seems as if the time/date is stuck in limbo when using Internet Explorer. Whenever I open a new webpage it uses info from the July 4th. My time is correct in the lower right corner. Is there somewhere else that I need to reset or correct? What would cause this problem?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean "it uses info from July 4"?

What do you mean "it uses info from July 4"?

Say for instance I pull up buckeyeplanet, it will show it updated as of July 4th at such and such a time. Also when I go to whitesox.com it will show what the page looked like on July 4th.

Have you tried clearing the browser's cache?

As Muck said, try clearing the cache, and after that set IE to load pages new every single time. In case you don't know how to do that:

1. Click "Tools" in the browser menu and then select "Internet Options"
2. Click the "Settings" button
3. Click the "Every visit to the page" radio button
4. Click "OK" twice to close out

Go to a gambling website and lay down all your $ on the American league to win the all-star game.

That is a DAMN good idea


As everyone said, yeah you either have cookies disabled somehow, or you just need to clear your temp files. It happens sometimes.

Try a different browser and see if the problem persists. Clear cookies and browser cache. Reset the security level in IE back to the default for cookie handling.

This happened to me once, around a year or two ago, and if memory serves it was spyware causing the problem... Or, maybe it was those fuckers at "cool web search" hijacking my browser... Anyway... you may want to run some spyware software if you haven't and you may want to download The Shredder if indeed you have CWS hijacker on board your system.

Alright well I cleared all files from my browser and that looks like it worked. I will have to check for spyware over the weekend. Thanks for everyones help.

May be spy-ware!
Run your anti-spy ware software and run McAfee.
And clear your cache! :tongue2:

 

[Muck]

Run your anti-spy ware software, delete McAfee and install AV software that doesn't suck.

FIFY
