You don't say what operating system you have, but try right clicking on the time in the lower right corner and choosing Adjust Date/time and see if you can change the year there.

Sorry! Windows 98. IE 6.  I'll try the right click when I get home. Should have thought of that.

And I'm still wondering if the wrong date might be the cause of cookie problems. You're wonderful to try to help.

Which version of Windows are you using?

Myra,

I just did a fresh W98se system install (after a HDD replacement) and when the time came to enter the date/time the year 2010 was defaulted. I didn't notice this untill well into the install. So I ended up starting over Partitioning/formating and at the prompt checked the time and date closely (it defaulted to 2010 again) and now I'm back up and running. (had lots of Delltalker help - thanks all)

If your system date is off as you said, it will cause lots of problems.  Cookies, software (i.e. NAV license for 12 months that expired 20 years ago), etc.  File creation hierarchy (you save a file today with a 2020 date), tomorrow is 2002 date.  Which is more current?

Hope if fixes easily.

Rick and others,

Collectively you all gave me enough information that I am now able to LOG IN to this site and others. The date was wrong in the BIOS, and until I searched through this forum I certainly did not know how to fix that! And this is the first time I've been able to do this from home. Thanks twenty tons!
