The program tests whether your hardware (mainly BIOS) properly rolls over. Read the README file carefully, because it explains why manually setting the date to test the roll over can fool you, although it is a reasonable way to test software roll over. My Compaq Presario CDS 924 fails the test. I have written to Compaq requesting a BIOS update. Irwin
