I noticed the other day that the date entry for last date accessed on one of the program entries on the users control panel in the add/remove software section for Peachtree accounting software installation was 10-03-2072, yes 2072.

My question is how did this date entry come to be the year 2072 ?

Is there some type of bug in the M/S XP O/S that would cause this type of date listing & if so, is M/S aware of this problem ?

Thanks.

It that the only thing your seeing that date on most like the installation software dated it.

Maybe your computer timetravelled to the future and someone from 2072 used the peachtree accounting software installer. Likely because its still better than windows 2072's bundled accounting software.

Well I was assuming the software package that does the installation had bad date info. Was the software on a CD? Chack the date of the install files there.
