Using Windows 98 SE, when click on time the Date/time window flashes only. in Contril panel Date/Time Icon is not available. In find can only click on Time/Date, but window does not open. I am able to set time through DOS. Scan reg /restore or scanreg /fix did not work. Need to restore Date/time Icon in Control Panel.

If it is just plain not there you can go to another machine that has the same operating system and copy it over ...

Hope this helps
