485761 2006-09-19 09:16:00 My Win2k PC has suddenly performed a very irritating transformation. The clock in the toolbox now apears as (if time was 9:56pm):
21:56
There is no PM/AM sign either.

Also, my dates are all stuffed up as well. When I get the tooltip from the date, it shows (if it was 13 0ctober 2006):
DD/10/2006 or DD MMMM 2006
This date problem has also affected my file dates, logon/off dates and history items.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?:help::confused::waughh:

PS:
At the moment I have installe TClockX which shows my clock again but I want my normal one back because this lags the CPU. I have Norton Internet Security 2003, Norton Antivirus 2003, Spy-Bot S&D, Lavasoft Ad-Aware and Windows Defender but non of these programs show bugs, viruses or worms!:badpc:

Your clock is displaying in 24 hr format, hence the no AM/PM. Have a look under Control Panel > Regional settings. See if you can change the time back to a 12 hr clock format and also make sure you have selected your preferred date format. Seeing as these settings have changed, also check your timezone is correct for your location.

485765 2006-09-28 04:30:00 Open the Regional and Language settings in control panel, have a look at this: www.imagef1.net.nz Agent_24 (57)

Reading the Help file would have got you there faster.
