Can't change back to 12 hr> clock

[Guest vince]

Hi too all:

 

Had a virus problem & that was resolved. However, during that experience

my taskbar clock changed to a 24 hr. clock. I'd like to go back to the 12

hr. model. I went to control panel, regional options, regional & language

options, customize, time tab, h:mm:ss tt, put in the correct numbers &

letters. Clicked on apply & "Boing" was told I chose one or more wrong

characters. DUHHH! Anyone got a clue what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks, Vince

What's the "Time Separator" on the next line? It should be a colon.

":" Change to a colon, click Apply, then try the time format again.

Just a thought; I'm not sure this will help.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong post just now.

Why don't he click the Reset box.

Click Reset to restore the system default settings for numbers, currency,

time, and date.
