Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure. A special feature brought to you by Microsoft Frequently Asked Questions

4. I purchased my computer last year. Because it is new, isn't it immune to year 2000 issues?

Not necessarily. Though it is likely that your PC's hardware (clock/BIOS) is ready for the year 2000, it is best to confirm this with the PC manufacturer. You should also confirm that your software and personal data files are ready for the year 2000. See the Web site section "Exploring Your PC" for more information about the parts of your computer system that may be at risk for year 2000 issues.
