Windows Contacts...birthdates incorrect I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Pro and when trying to input information in Windows Contacts, I noticed that the birthdates displayed are not the dates that I input, but the previous day's date. Am I missing something here? | My System Specs |

Am I mising something here? The first thing that pops in my mind is your clock / date is set wrong. Look in the lower right hand corner of your screen and make sure the time, AM/PM and date is correct. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit - Build 7600 SP1 CPU Intel Core i3-2120 3.30Ghz Motherboard Asus P8Z68-V LX Intel Z68 Socket H2 ATX Memory Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1333 mhz Graphics Card Zotac GeForce 9400 GT 512MB Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-Bit Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Sync Master 940 = 19 inch Screen Resolution 1440 X 900 Keyboard Microsoft Natural 4000 Mouse Microsoft Custom Optical 3000 PSU 500 watt Case NZXT Apollo - Silver with Clear Side Panel Cooling Three 120 mm Fans Hard Drives OCZ Vertex 3 120 GB Sata 3 SSD ==

Apparently this is not a common issue. I haven't had any luck here, and I have been on Microsoft chat for a couple of hours with no result. I checked my laptop which is running Windows 7 as well, and the same issue occurs. So, is it just me, or is this a problem that is universal to 7? I'm curious. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional 64 BIT |

The Microsoft tech. has suggested that my bios clock is out of sync. I almost took that as a personal attack, but apparently this is a reference to checking a setting that is a tad out of my league. He is unable to check this from his end. Can someone give me any instruction as to how to check this? | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Professional 64 BIT |

to access your BIOS See your Computer Manufacturer for more Details
Once in there you need to Change the Date and Time to the Right Time
Be warned you can only use the Keyboard in the BIOS
Also make sure you save changes when you exit the BIOS
Hope This Helps,

Josh, That went rather well and I've done no permanent damage.  Sadly, that was not the fix. I suspect that the Contacts feature in 7 is a load of bollocks and that the tech. is grasping at straws at this point.
I do appreciate the assistance. I feel much more at peace knowing that my bios clock is in sync. If only it were that easy to adjust the rest of my internal clocks.
Cheers,
