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.

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