Date format

Post by *tcebob »

For some reason my TC has decided it is in Europe and lists dates as d m y. While I agree that that is the logical order it is confusing here in New Hampshire. How can I get my old familiar m/d/y back?

Are you sure you have the correct date format in your Windows Configuration (Control Panel - Regional Settings - Date - MM/dd/yyyy) ?

Yes, I double checked. All other date displays (the taskbar, etc.) are correct. Maybe if I reinstall TC -- I'll try that tomorrow, to a new directory name.

Sometimes Windows seems to return inconsistent date formats. To fix this, please do the following:
1. Change the date to some other format, e.g. to European (d.m.y) or Japanese (y.m.d) format.
2. Click Apply
3. Change the date back to U.S. format.
4. Click Apply again!

Now Windows should show the correct format also in TC.
