Before watching that box of bytes ride slumped over into the sunset, try changing the year to 1973 instead of 1999. The days in 1974 are the same as 2000 and your 'puter won't know the diff. I think it's '74, if not, then it's '73, but that will be easy to tell once you make the change.
Also a good thing for anyone to do is to change your Short Date in your Regional Settings (found in the Control Panel) to read m/d/yyyy instead of m/d/yy (or mm/dd/yyyy if you're so inclined).
This will help keep other files in order that rely upon this info.
