I came across a 486 DX4 computer which BIOS isn't Y2K compliant. I can set the date to today, and it seems to save it, but if I go back in the BIOS, I am suddenly in 2094, so is Windows 98.
There is no BIOS update from the board's maker. Is there a software to put an offset to the BIOS time so that Windows would have the right date/year even though the BIOS wouldn't ?
is this really a y2k bug? it sounds like a y3k bug because the y2k bug should switch 2003 to 1903 and not to 2094 well anyway, there are lot of programs which fixies these problems, i get a Disc with my new computer which checks the system and finds out if it's y2k compatible, it was a free program so you'll find it, use Google.
if that doesnt work i have no idea how you should fix this problem without changin BIOS
Peter is correct, it is a Y2K problem, and it is most likely an Award BIOS. Probably version 4.xx or early 5.xx, as they would often configure to 2094 or 2095.
Y2Kure is a freeware application that often work around Award Y2K issues. This app is a device driver that loads via the DOS config.sys file.
well anyway, there are lot of programs which fixies these problems, i get a Disc with my new computer which checks the system and finds out if it's y2k compatible, it was a free program so you'll find it, use Google.
