BIOS Clock

Does anyone know whether or not changing the time on the BIOS clock will
effect Vista? I'm hoping that it will not.

Re: BIOS Clock

Vista will show the time as set in the BIOS. Is that what you're asking?

Re: BIOS Clock

Hi,

A minor adjustment? No. If Vista detects that you are trying to circumvent
activation, then yes.

Re: BIOS Clock

No, I activated Vista a long time ago. I just want to adjust my BIOS clock
to the correct time.
