Any thoughts? Gary I have a computer running XP that does the same thing. I think I will have to reinstall windows. It's actually a recent installation by the computer vendor. I bought the computer to specifically run windows xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
za33photo Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Try setting the computers clock with a universal time site. I use "time.nist.gov". Go to your computers "clock" screen , there may be an option there to reset the clock using a time station. It works with Windows Vista , It MAY work with XP. Try it and see.

I just hope I don't lose the pictures I have saved. You better save your pictures on an external drive now. The problem wouldn't prevent you from doing it. In the event you get a new computer or reinstall Windows on the current computer you will need to save the pictures on an external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Parsons Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I keep all my data on external hard drives, both working and backup. That way, in the event of software issues, I only (only ! Ha !) have to re-install software, I know my data is protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemorrell Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 A quick google search revealed that internet problems with Windows XP have cropped up (for a variety of reasons) for years. But I see you managed to log back on :)! IMHO, your choice at the moment is: 1. to trawl the internet for possible solutions to get your XP machine reliably up and running 2. Upgrade to a more modern computer with W10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Most older motherboards have an RTC (Real Time Clock) chip on board that has a CR2032 or CR2025 coin cell as their backup power. The RTC chip also stores some Bios settings. So if that little Lithium cell goes flat (which it will after about 5 years), then you can get all sorts of strange issues - not keeping correct time during power-down being the most obvious. Get yourself a cheap card of Lithium coin cells and replace the one on your motherboard. That should solve the issue... But you'll probably have to reset all the Bios options after replacing the cell. Some boards need a 'reset' jumper applying for a second or two after replacing the cell as well. Good luck!

cameragary Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 I am able to log on with my phone and on my chrome book.no problems.

steve_gallimore1 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It's an expired security certificate issue, not actually your computer, per se. A certain social media network would appear to have succumbed, which is a tragedy of epic proportions. On the other hand, if it really is Windows XP SP2 (service pack 2), then it should probably be taken behind the barn and put out of it's misery. Sorry, I'm normally the first to suggest extending the life of old kit and I use XP daily, but it has no business being connected to the internet, for your own safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
