I don't think it's date and time issue even if error messages indicate so.
More likely to do with expired CA certificates (required for SSL etc.)
There are workarounds but I've never researched them so can't help much in that regard.
Google around for "XP root certificate update" or "XP root certificate expired"

Your root certificates are expired. This is an unfortunate landmine that affects older systems.

Don't forget about GlobalSign Root Certificates as well:

Cheers for that, ill put that to use on my other machines too, does this work for 98 ?

I've never tried to update certificates on Windows 98, since modern browser support is so terrible.

not actually after browser support since as you said its terrible, more to stop it throwing errors when it decides to open web pages and shit via programs or when I go hunting for drivers.
