Tips on handling Y2K computer problems available
June 7, 1999
KALAMAZOO -- As of today, June 7, there are 207 days remaining
until Year 2000. How do you get started addressing desktop Y2K
problems?
- Take an inventory. Make a note of what operating system you
are using (e.g. Windows 95) and list what software is installed.
Next, check the WMU Year 2000 Web page <www.wmich.edu/y2k>
for information about your operating system and the software
you use to see if there may be problems and to find out how to
fix those problems.
- GMT is software which checks hardware, operating systems,
application software and data files for Y2K compliance. The cost
is $7.50. Contact y2k@wmich.edu
for more information.
- If your computer or software is not Y2K compliant, then you
need to consider some remediation. You can find more information
about this on the WMU Year 2000 Web site.
