Untick, or set the time to zero.

Before you do anything!
(although I guess DiscContented is otherwise "probably" right)
You have indicated the PC still works, yet you don't say if it works under both ME and XP (dual-boot) - it is difficult to help without all the details.
IF - it works, but you just don't like "this mesage" - then why mess with it? Be grateful it still works. Copy all yr data-files, =letters, photos etc somewhere safe....
With the cost of HDD's so cheap, I wonder why folk don't just start afresh, it means you have a clean installation and gives you a reasonable spare HDD, once the new system is working OK. When you installed ME - wasn't that 5-years ago? - HDD's don't last forever. A new HDD is about 40usd - and will outlast the one you have now.
Good luck
