I recently downloaded a copy of MagicISO and before I installed I created a restore point. I also downloaded a Dell Driver Update at the same time. The Dell update apparently ACTIVATED my Microsoft Office free trial that I have never used and so I decided to use System Restore. Well, my computer clock and date has now started over at JAN. 1 2009 and I have no restore points previously. They are all gone! In fact I can't get System Restore to even look BACK beyond Jan. 1 2009! I changed the windows date to April 2 ( the install was done on March 31 and April 1) and now System restore will load up as April 2, 2008 but will not GO back in time any further. If I try to change the date system restore automatically goes to Jan. 1, 2009.

Dell Dimension C521 A64 3200 512mb XPTry using your right hand key on the time shown in the lower right corner of the screen and from the popup select adjust "date & time"Thanks for your reply. That is how I changed the date so that System restore would think it was the correct date and not Jan of 2009. However, there are no restore points. Thay are all missing and if I try to look at ANOTHER date in system restore it automatically goes Jan. 2009, even if I am looking at April 2008 and want to look at March 2008.
Any ideas?See, if your clock is set correctly in BIOS.
