I had a similar problem on Sunday last. IBM antivirus was running in my BIOS and
it kept setting the date to 2099, this of course kept crashing the GlobalServer
and hosed my data.
I was able to uninstall the IBM antivirus which I have never updated or used and
then used Norton Disk Doctor (Scan Disk) to fix all the bad time and date
stamps, after which all is OK.
At least I know I will be able to Boot Up until at least 2099.

Interesting as I also had a date change - make that a year change - to
9/15/2008 (my own Y2K problem). I don't know what caused it but it I could
not replot charts. With the OR backup data gone I had no choice but to get
REAL familiar with the tic data file. After several interesting hours, I
was successful in writing a program which replaces a user input "bad" date
in the tic file with another user input date and renumbers the tic block
index as required. The fixit program works fine but I wish I knew the cause
of the original problem.
Yes Jim, I'm also running the 4.23 data server but have not had any problems
until now.
