Hi paul,

does date/time stamping the file can create this issue? I am asking
this question because I noticed that my system's internal clock is not
working (guess battery is dead). I did change it few times because it
was showing the wrong date and time but didn't noticed that it was
hardware problem. May be this could have affected the date/time stamp
of some files. Well I don't know how this affects but is this
possible??

I haven't fixed the clock yet but I'll do that by today.

Thanks
