hello,

I'm wondering, my reporting date for all wu are set to year 1901, after I resetted my bios. (I didn't set the date correct in the bios)
I changed my date to today from within windows but the reporting date stays the same.
New downloaded WU are set to a reporting date in the future.
I tried this on one of my other pc's and saw the same thing.
I just keep crunching as the date before was ok and when I check the date to report on the project pages everything is fine.

No, it's a Manager issue - the Manager uses your system clock when it converts the time/date from UTC, for display in your Work tab only, and the 'local' date/time is stored in the xml files. The project still knows what UTC date/time these results are due, and as you've seen, results loaded after you corrected the date are okay. I believe the 'bad date' WUs will complete just fine and be accepted, and there's no problem beyond that.
