24 clock

[Patrick Newland]

I recently made a trip to Japan. I changed my timezone
to Japan and after a fews days the clock began to show
the time XX:XX PM in the 24 hour clock. So now everytime
I read my clock I must minus 12 hours during the PM. I
have not be able to change it back to the 12 hour clock.
Has anyone seen this issue? Is this a OS bug or
something worse?

Thanks,
PAtrick

try Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Customize button, Time
tab, select the Time format you prefer

(refer to the time format notation on the same options panel)

Much worse. you need to replace the USER of this computer who made the
change and forgot what he/she did. Others have answered the FIX, but in the
future, don't blame the OS or something worse until you know it isn't you.
Embarrassing isn't it.

Erm, if it's 24h then it doesn't have the am/pm identifier - are you /sure/
it's 24 hour (which is the preferred time format anyway)?

It's not an altogether accurate assumption that it was any particular
user that caused the fault. My computer's been doing crazy things for
years without me having to change any setting's at all. It doesn't
happen often, but at times it does.

As much as I know computers are handy because they do exactly what
they're told every time, lately it seems that they've been adopting a
mind of their own...

Either that, or other programs that have been installed are
interfering with the OS.

I had no idea either way.. Actually, I only have that sig as a
reference to an old inside-joke from another group. I'll make the
change though. I don't want a bunch of Germans laughing at me..
