" is not a valid date.

[Ryan Hardie]

Whenever I start my internet explorer, a warning box
comes up that states, " "is not a valid date. " There is
an "OK" box you can click on and then the internet page
comes up. The internet works fine once I click OK but it
is really annoying when I have to do that. It does it
whenever Pop-ups or any other new window through internet
explorer opens. Also, when I open my "control panel",
the warning box also comes up.

I don't know if there is a date that is hidden somewhere
I can't find, that is directly related to the internet
explorer. I have looked just about everywhere that I
know of and I can't seem to find it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

My friend's computer is doing it also. Does anyone know
of or heard of a virus that is going around that would
cause this to happen?

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT!

Go to Start and then Control Panel.

Go to add/remove programs.

Delete the CPR file.

I found the solution on google.com by typing in the error
message under the group category. I did it to my
computer and it worked instantly and my friend also just
did it and it worked on his.
