Set your clock forward to 12/31/99 and come back the next day and *see* what happens. Run all your apps and check the time/date stamps on the files, etc. Some systems will show 1/1/00 and others will show 1/1/2000.<br />

Changing the date can have unexpected results if you are not Y2K compliant. &nbsp;Better to go to your BIOS manufacturer's web site and check the version of the BIOS. &nbsp;The site should have the info on whether you are Y2K compliant or not. &nbsp;Also, generally speaking, if during the POST the BIOS shows the date with four digits, it will be Y2K compliant.<br />

MARK answer is absically acceptable BUT he only answer 1 of the 3 question.<br />
<br />
A PC with flash BIOS can easily be updated, but how about the old ones (my pc mostly generic, so it is troublesome to trace the manufacturer of each of them)<br />
<br />
What about the date skip??<br />
