The software, he said, uses a quick and easy installation, thorough diagnostics examination and swift repair of non-compliant files. Interestingly, Micro Star says that the package fixes non-compliant files without altering them. This, the firm says, makes the software ideal for novice users. Nicholson said that many software applications are designed to interact with each other, meaning any part of the chain which may contain the wrong date could generate errors that ultimately produce inaccurate data.

Users can then pick and choose their remedies, or opt to correct all non-compliant areas.
The corrected software is then capable of properly processing dates from any century, the company says.
