It could be that the CMOS battery is failing, or the computer's internal clock is operating at the wrong speed. In Windows, there should be a service to update the time and date from the internet. But if the Windows Time service is not running or the selected time/date server is dead, the computer won't automatically update the time and date. So there are at least 2 things to do. First is to enable the Windows Time service if it is disabled (set to Manual or Automatic) and then start it so that it shows as running in the Services applet. You get to the service by typing services.msc in the Run/Search box in the Start Menu, and scrolling down to Windows Time. If the service won't stay running, then you could have deeper issues and would need to troubleshoot those. Then one should click the clock in the corner, go to Change Settings, go to Internet Time, then go to Change Settings in there. Make sure the box is checked and go ahead and update it. If it fails, try again, and if it still fails, try a different server in the box and try again. Then click OK.

In Windows 8 Developers Preview it was possible to just disable the Metro theme with a simple registry edit. And this brought back the Windows 7 start menu. But in Windows 8 Consumer Preview it is no longer possible to disable the Metro theme. And in addition to that the start button or start orb has also been removed. But you can install several third party software's that will bring back both the start orb and Windows XP,Classic Windows 98 or Windows 7 start menu. The most well known software is Classic Shell which puts both the start orb and the Windows XP start menu into Windows 8.The latest version has been updated recently to work on Windows 8. As well as the Windows XP start menu,Classic Shell gives you the choice of other start menus,the Classic start menu or the Windows Vista or Windows 7 start menu. The other software options are Start Menu 7 which works on Windows 8.And puts both the start orb and the Windows 7 start menu in Windows 8. Other options are Vi Start which also puts the start orb and Windows 7 start menu in Windows 8. And Vista start Menu which puts the Windows Vista start menu into Windows 8. But not the start orb,but you can just click on the program short cut on your desktop to bring up the start menu. All the above programs are for Windows Vista and Windows 7 but also work on Windows 8.
if all else fails deleate the account and start a new one (IMPORTANT: make a administrator account and never use it only for important things you need to edit on your computer)
This is likely to be difficult because older software does not always support new hardware. You would need to format the drive and start fresh, or I would suggest installing a new hard drive and installing from scratch. That allows you to recover quickly if your experiment fails.
Typically, for Windows computers, the Network and Sharing Center is the tool used to determine network connectivity and troubleshoot connection problems. On a Windows computer, go to your start button (the windows logo in the bottom left hand corner of your screen), select "Control Panel" then select "Network and Internet" then select "Network and Sharing Center."
