How to test if a PC needs a tweak? The simplest method is to reset the clock and date to 11:58 p.m. and Dec. 31, 1999. (If your computer uses the Windows operating system, you can usually get to the clock by clicking on the on-screen time display.) Turn off the machine, wait several minutes and power it up. If the date reads Jan. 1, 2000, the computer passes. Next, call up important programs individually and check the dates. One test is to create a new file or alter an existing file, then store it.
