Time and date files ?

[DC]

Hi,
I built an AMD600 machine from used parts.
Had XP Pro loaded.
I noticed the date/time was about 2 1/2 days behind so I
sync.ed with the internet clock.
Now some licensed software fails because it sees the date
was set back.

Anyone know of a date/time file that it could be using to
compare against?

I saw something like this in UNIX (forgive the U word)
sometime back, and it just required a file to be deleted
when the date was corrected. The system would create a
new file with the correted date/time.

Any ideas would be helpfull.
Format the drive and start over?

Have you waited 2 1/2 days. You say the time was behind (but you also say you set the time back?) so it may fix itself once current time is greater than install time. You can test by adjusting the clock.
