Hi nancybernier - Welcome to w7forums

Your computers battery may be failing.

Every computer has a small battery to keep time and other BIOS settings, when the power is turned off. If you notice this happen again, change the battery or have someone else do it for you.

Optional causes

Our internal network requires the internet to be fully configures on the PC to allow these activation to be successful. I was gettign the exact error code, but as our machines have the time adjusted automatically, the problem was with internet access.
