Update fails

[Tiimothy Horn]

I have XP prof and it has been working well except now I
try to update and keep getting an error message that
says that I need to alter the time on my computer but it
has the correct time on it. I have not seen anything
like this on the newsgroup.

Verify that your computer's date and time are accurate and that the Internet
Explorer language option is not empty.
To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:
1. Click "Tools" and then choose "Internet Options"
2. Click the "Languages" button
3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options" dialog.

When checking your date (including the year) and time, also check the Internet
Time and Time Zone. Double click on the date/time in the notification/system
tray area, select Internet Time Tab and then select update now. If it's not
already checked, check automatically synchronize with an Internet Time Server.

Now try the update site again. If still no joy, continue on:-
