Alright I finally figured out what was wrong with my computer. It was so simple that it never even crossed my mind that there was an issue with it. Friday afternoon I let my son play on a game site, one I grudgingly allow, and he forgot to turn off the internet when he was done. Well when I logged on that night I couldn't even check my email. Any site that required a log in and password came up with an error message... something to the effect of the secure something has expired June 2010. I ran all my checks with Norton, restarted my computer, changed from Mozilla to IE 8 and nothing worked. I checked my husband's computer to see if he was having the same issues, of course he wasn't. I finally googled the error message. Someone else, thankfully for me, had the same problem and put it to a computer tech guy, who really had no idea how to solve the problem. The tech guy said that the person who had this problem solved it himself and then quoted what the guy said in a private email. So of course I went straight to that area of my computer to find out if I was having the same problem. Yes, my date was wrong on my computer. Some how the stupid calendar was set at June 1, 2033. I am so glad that I didn't dish out a min of $100 to have some guy tell me that I was not very smart! LOL

Ouch Heather! I hate going with out my computer. We have been so unlucky with laptops over the years. It started out that we had to have one for school purposes, my husband was getting his Masters but travels a lot for work. Then it became we needed it for his job (travel). The first one we bought crashed on us three times, once while we were out of town. My husband had to have a computer for work, so had to buy a new one or cancel vacation and go home. We got it fixed and 6 months later it crashed again. This time my tech guy said that it would be cheaper (in the long run) to buy a new one. When we did finally get that one fixed, he asked us if it had been dropped, which it hadn't. That one now belongs to my daughter.
