When the PC has started up, enter the BIOS set-up
( normally by pressing " F1 " or " F10 " keys ) when instructions are given
for you to do so. Look out for these prompts which should appear on your
computer screen.
Change the current date/time to 31 Dec 99 , 2358 hr
Shut down your PC, wait for 3 minutes.
Start up your PC again & re-enter the BIOS set-up.
Check the date/time. Your PC should display 1 Jan 2000, 00:01 . . .
( Note : some non-Y2K compliant PCs may stop functioning at this stage . )
Next, set the date/time to 28 Feb 2000, 2358 hr & wait 3 minutes. As
year 2000 is a leap year, you should see 29 Feb 2000, 00:01 hr . . .
If at any point, your PC stops working or displays a wrong date/time, source
for available fixes from the manufacturer or solutions from other computer vendors.
Alternatively, consider replacing your PC with a Y2K ready one ! ! !
