Guest vince Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 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. -- Joe =o)
