    A couple of Vista/internet questions.

    Ive been on Vista about a week. My IExplorer program was working fine. I use Earthlink as my homepage and was checking email on the webmail link. Suddenly today, when I click on the webmail link and after I put in my password (which is the next page), I first get a warning screen saying the security certificate is out of date or not yet valid. It seems to say its the website certificate. I dont know how to fix this. My security settings are the same as theyve been. But its a pain to get this page every time I click on webmail, then I click the link that says go forward to the page, then I enter my password, and it does the same thing.



    Second issue. This started at the same time, suddenly my windows update program -- which I have set to "tell me theres an update and let me decide when to download" is telling me it cant check for updates. I get an error if I manually try to check for updates with just some number code which cant be found on the Windows help thing it forwards me to.
    Maybe this is related to the same security issue that started today?


    Any ideas on how to fix this? as I said, security settings havent changed. This just started when I turned it all on today. Tried rebooting. no change.

    thanks.

    OK, hold up.
    I just realized both problems were due to the fact that my date and time was some wierd date in 2002.
    So I fixed the problem, but am now worried as to why on a brand new laptop, the date would have changed from the past week of using this...

    Any ideas on this?

    thanks

    Could you explain your post, because I'm not getting what it has to do with the OP's post? :confused:

    If you are using an administrator account, you might have accidentally changed the time/date, a weird glitch happened during the automatic time sync, or another application may have changed them.
