  • Well many of you might have already got it as forwarded emails. And many may not agree that it will be able to cause some problem. But i just wanted to post it for some information. I was goooooogling around to found out , whether Y2K bug will be repeated by any chance in some other form. And yeah, it seems it will …..

    I have not tried this with windows Vista , but with windows XP, it does create a trouble.

    Just do a little jig with your computer. Change the date and time to anything after

    Jan19 , 2038 03:14:07 AM .

    And just check whether everything works fine with your system . As for me when I tried this , my yahoo messenger crashed and windows was getting hanged much often.

    There is a lot of technical information available on internet talking about some 32 bit , 64 bit mystery which i never care to understand. So if any one of you do understand anything … dont forget to post a comment or post thread in the forum and teach me what actually causes this.

    There is a site totally devoted on this bug is http://www.2038bug.com

    Do share some knowledge if you find some time ;-)
