Yeah, I was in XP on my dual boot machine doing some recording from a couple of old LP's, and when I tried rebooting into Vista again it was no go, wouldn't start. All I got was the boot screen for several minutes, so I did a forced shutdown and unplugged the power to reset everything. Vista restarted but several apps were acting up....Windowblinds wouldn't load and Winstep Xtreme was saying my subscription was prematurely up. Uhhhh!!!!

First thing I tried was uninstalling and reinstalling Windowblinds, but no go there, and the Winstep reminder popped up again after rebooting. What the F#*k's going on here, I thought ....and then, for some strange reason, I checked the time and date. What I saw really freaked me out....it was saying that it was January 7 2088, like 81 years from now.

Now I've booted in and out of both OSes before without issue, and there's been no hardware or software changes, so what the heck would cause my puter to suddenly gain 81 years between reboots??? I have a theory or three, but I don't want to publicly announce a conspiracy, so I'll take any reasonable ideas/theories that may help to explain it.
