Date and time of my system..?

Hi,


Sometimes I download a software for trial, and when the trial is about to expire, I change the date of my system to some past date, and hence making the software assume that it's still valid.





It creates a few problems for me, because date and time of my system is not set correctly, like in my archive of yahoo messenger messages, messages are tagged the wrong date/time etc..





Any work around?

No.
Reply:Hi, if you are restoring your computer to a past date. then you will always have problems


after you restore to a different date. you need to do a defragment and a diskclean. along with a virusscan.
Reply:A much easier solution is to use a virtual machine (free from microsoft). Create a machine with all the stuff you normally want then save the virtual harddrive as a zip file Once your trial expires, delete the virtual machine's drive and copy the saved one into place. Reinstall your trial again and you get another free trial. It's also good for checking out any software that might contain a virus or trojan since everything stays inside the virtual machine.
Reply:uninstall the application and then edit all of the registry keys for that software out of your registry. If you don't know how to do this, learn from someone who does. This isn't something you want to try without knowing what to do. And, running the uninstall utility or removing it with Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel will not take out all the registry keys.
Reply:No workaround. One or the other will work, but not both.
