A problem of time unusual Windows: time of Windows always comes back to the year 2005

Specifications:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

AMD Athlon XP 2700 +.

At the start, and sometimes even if the computer is running, the windows of time always comes back to the year 2005, while maintaining the right hour, minute, second, day and month.

I tried a number of solutions such as the "authoritative time server configuration", analysis of the computer for viruses and restarting the service of time via the command prompt, but without success. I am able to synchronize the time with a server, but only after the change of the year 2011.

My installation of Windows is updated regularly and I'm always connected to the internet. I'm pretty sure that this is not a BIOS problem I replaced the CMOS battery and have ensured that the BIOS time is correct.

In addition to the usual questions that arise in some programs due to an incorrect time, I noticed that when you use Firefox 4, the Google search engine always resets to "Instant Search" despite my having the clocks to the correct year.

Any ideas?

If I read your messages, I have that, amongst other times, pick up this always happens at startup.  This is the case, you can first check that the time is set correctly in the BIOS before you boot into Windows.  If it is, and, as you think, a program is causing this problem so the task is to know which.  A lot of startup programs each time you start Windows.  The boot configuration with minimum nude of running processes is called "Safe Mode".  So start your computer Safe Mode (press F8 as your computer starts).  When he arrives, check the date and time.  If it of OK and has not changed, then one of the other optional components must be the cause.  To narrow down that one, you can use "msconfig" to toggle the startup items groups until you find the one that is causing your problem.  The procedure for doing this is described in this article:

"How to solve configuration errors by using the System Configuration utility in Windows XP"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310560 >

I start by disabling everything in the "Startup" tab  If this solves the problem, then I start allowing things in this tab a little at a time until I have find the culprit. If the Startup tab does not resolve the problem, then I try disabling items in the tab "Services".  I usually start with non-Microsoft services.

Of course on the machine who recently had this problem, you could try a shotgun approach and do a simple "System Restore" to a point in time before this problem.  It will probably fix the problem, but you will not know what caused it.

    Hello
     

    1. is this a problem with all the readers of the floppy disk that you use, or is it limited to a particular floppy drive?

    Check if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the drive works as expected in mode safe, and then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state. It is a possibility that another application is at the origin of the conflict.

    Original title: Windows Update keeps reseting

    My computer had a mandatory update that began when turned on. Happens to the last step of the update every time, it goes to the "starting Windows" and then it all comes back to the update. Turn on the computer and then next turn has not changed anything either, and I can't after that.

    Hi Reilly,

    Thank you for the update on that.

    Please follow the steps in method 1, by our Support Engineer Ganesh Achar B replied on 12 February 2015 on the last response.

    If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, take note of the number of KB updates which fails to install.
     

    Also you can restore the system in safe mode.

    Check out the link below to perform a restore of the system.

  • I can't open firefox. Home page comes up, I get just the reporter Crash asking to restart/quit but every time I do the same message always comes back.

    I can't open Firefox. Home page comes up, I get just the reporter Crash asking me to restart/quit but every time I do the same message always comes back. I was not able to use Firefox for days now.

    In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.

    You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop

    You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.

    http://www.Trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem

    If you do not report, so we have a crash report ID. When you send a report of the Mozilla crash puts it right in a gigantic database. We have no way to seek without the ID of the report. I don't know what the problem is without searching the crash report. Please get the ID of your last report of the accident report.

  • Can restore my computer-how I restore my computer (Windows Vista Premium) back in the day, it was brand new?

    How can I restore my computer (Windows Vista Premium) back in the day, it was brand new?  I want to clean the top/everything, yes everything!    Help! PLEASE

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    The reason why I ask is recently that my browser does not store cookies permanently. When I try to enter a password sites (my Bank for example), I have to answer a question before you enter my password. I have to do this every day. Previously, I was able to save the computer and should not be the question that arises, unless I have cleared my cache, history and cookies. However, it seems that cookies seem to disappear when I close the computer power off or after an unknown period of time and I have to go through the procedure to properly identify myself and my computer on the site.

    The problem only occurs when you restart Windows and not between the closing and startup of Firefox without having to restart Windows?

    Outside Norton, do you have any other utility that can 'clean up' browser like CCleaner settings?

  • Windows cannot find back to the top before you reinstall Visa Business x 32.

    As I had problems with windows, the decision was made to reinstall Vista Business x 32; has SP2. Before that, I did a return upwards using the windows towards the high utility (I had done this for the last 18 months). I can find the back of the files on the external hard drive (PC name, backup set of 1st registration, I've done the reverse and then the following dates that I saved the last date with 12.8 GB). I get the message that it is not save ti available use. I tried to use the method advanced and always impossible to get anything. I tried to boot in safe mode and got the message that this operation was not available in safe mode. The problems that I had with windows has been fixed with the resettlement, but I would really like to get my files back.

    Thanks in advance.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work): http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that the backup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).  I hope you find any error or discrepancy in your procedure and it will clear up and allow you to restore.

    I hope this helps. If this isn't the case after back and we're going to try something else.  It may have something to do with permissions or the files there and we will discuss these options (and perhaps other institutions).

  • Windows Media Player comes back to the initial settings

    I've seen that several times during the construction of a PC. One of the things I do is start Windows Media Player and set the player / ripping the defaults; WMP works very well. This time, however, after the hours of use, mainly surfing using IE11, I tried to listen to music in my music. But when WMP displayed on the screen, I saw the first screen, who asks whether I want recommended settings. When I clicked on recommended settings and clicked on OK (or Yes or something else), they showed me WMP with my previous settings. I ran full scans with Malwarebytes Pro and F-Secure, but found nothing. Is it a side effect of the updates published on this last Patch Tuesday, or is there another reason why this would happen?

    latest updates of windholes did this damage,
    ruin of the media player settings all users.
    don't know which update it was well,
    had to walk another person through this yesterday while they have tried to use WiMP and got first use of new dialog box.

  • Windows (vista) could start even in safe mode. disk repair and system restore do nothing. all comes back to the same error screen

    Windows Boot Manager

    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.

    2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".

    3. click on "repair your computer".

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

    File: \Windows\system32\config\system

    Status: 0 x 0000225

    Info: Windows could not load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.

    Enter = continue or esc = exit

    I put in the repair disk and need to "select" system none were so I click Next and let it run for the night, about 12 hours later the blue progress bar was still in progress on the same window so I guess it doesn't work anymore. I would like to reinstall windows, but I can't drive to format...

    Go into the BIOS

    Then look for boot options, or boot order
    Change the boot order to boot from the CD / DVD rom (i.e. does not start from the HD, boot from the cd to install disks).
    Now you can do a full reinstall but that your last resort.
