Time After Time? Facebook Not Loading?


  2 days ago I tried logging in from my old laptop, which is about, 8 years old? I haven't tried using it for 6++ months, and I finally awaken the old dinosaur back to life. The thing is, when you leave a computer in a state of hibernation for so long, the components start to degrade -especially the clock battery.


  So that 2 days ago when I tried logging in to Facebook from my old comp, it somehow only show texts and and not the whole interface. I figured it was the browser not being compatible with the site anymore. Reinstalled them, and I still get no positive feedback. Then I went to check the site certificate which keeps popping up and I found this:


  Yeah, what the heck. So there are 2 things to keep in mind here:
  • Never leave your computer 'dead' for too long.
  • If you do, there would be ways to resolve this:
  1. Right - click on the time on the far right of your taskbar.
  2. Choose "Adjust Date/Time". (Sorry, this is meant for Win XP, you can try out on Vista & 7)
  3. Set manually of the time on the first page, or
  4. Click on "Internet Time" tab > "Update Now" (make sure to choose your time zone correctly)
  There, that should do the trick. Hope you have a good time with your friends and family today!
