Strange clock behaviour

[Guest]

My clock on my computer has started to act odd.
It now shows the time as if is set to a twelve hour settting, e.g. 11.28,
but when I double click on it. it shows the clock in a 24 hour format in the
settings box.
The desktop will show 11.28 and the settings box will show 23.28. It was
working fine until yesterday.
Is there any way to make them the same? I have already consulted the help
& support program on my computer, but to no avail.

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options |
Customize button | Time tab |

Change any UPPERCASE H to lowercase h.

The lowercase h denotes the 12 hour clock and uppercase H denotes the 24
hour clock.

H = Hours without leading zeros for single digit hours (24 hour clock).
HH = Hours with leading zeros for single digit hours (24 hour clock).
h = Hours without leading zeros for single digit hours (12 hour clock).
hh = Hours with leading zeros for single digit hours (12 hour clock).

If you do not see the format you want in Time format, follow these
guidelines:
Display time in a 12-hour format: Type lowercase h or hh for the hour

Display leading zeros in single-digit hours: Type two characters, hh

Suppress the display of leading zeros in single-digit hours, minutes, or
seconds: Type a single lowercase letter, such as h, m, or s

Display a single letter to indicate AM or PM: Type lowercase t

Display two letters to indicate AM or PM: Type lowercase tt

Display text: Type single quotation marks (') around text

Hi Wesley,
Thanks so much for your advice, it solved the problem.
Do you have any idea what might have caused the problem in the first place?
I had my clock set to the 24hr format, and then it just changed. Computers
can so annoying.
