Satellite Pro 6100 - How to change date/time in BIOS
Posted: 28-Mar-2011 10:20

Hi,

I've been given an satellite pro 6100 that hadnt been used for some time. Windows wouldnt work so reinstalled it with the correct disk.

when i try and 'activate' windows i get 32777 error message and the laptop is unable to connect with the activation servers which a google leads to me believe that the date/time are incorrect in the bios.

I know to press esc to get access to the bios but there is no option to change date and time in there. i have set the correct date/time in windows but this doesnt seem to synch with the bios. i have updated to the latest bios version but this still does not help.

how can i change or update the time in the bios?

thanks

Hello

I doubt that time and date setting in BIOS does affect the Windows activation… Even the Windows time doesn’t affect this in my opinion. There must be another reason for this problem.
Can you activate Windows via phone?

Normally the date/time in BIOS can you change if you mark the date or time then press “+” or “-“ key to change this. Sometimes you have to press PageDown/Up depending on the BIOS or notebook model.
Usually in BIOS setup you can find a short info how to change the values.

Check this!!!

I have been in the bios screen, on both pages and there's nowhere i can see that lets me alter the date/time.

Thanks.

Hi mate

Every BIOS provides a option to change the date and time.
I’m not Satellite Pro 6100 owner but I think this is a Toshiba BIOS.
Usually you can access this pressing ESC and then F1 while powering the unit.

In BIOS the data and time should be placed on the first page.
There should be a area called System; Date/Time

Pressing Space or BkSP (backspace) you can change the values!
Pressing END button save the changes and exit the BIOS.

i'll tell you now that neither of the bios' 2 pages contains a section that allows me to change the date and time. this is a fact.

however, i forced a time synch within windows and this seems to have resolved my issue and i have now activated my software succesfully.

thanks for nothing guys!

the error message detailed simply means that your system time differs greatly from the time on the activation servers.

force a time synch within windows and try activation again and this should resolve the issue.
