24 hour vs 12 hour clock settings

[linuxgrilla]

my clock settings are on the 24 hour format, and i want to change to the 12 hour format. I go to settings, regional settings, and it shows the am and pm. for some reason it can't get it to use them however. is there somewhere else i change this and if so where?

Wow thats really wierd..I never knew they even had 24 hour settings for ppc. OK, first of all, what county do you have you set as your location in Regional Settings? Chances are it is set on a county that uses 24 hour time. If you live in a county that uses 24 hour time but want 12 hour time, set it to a country that uses 12 hour time.. That should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

Changes that I make in my Regional Setting change the display under Clock along with the time in the task bar. (!)

Let see if we can help you with this one.

Go back to the Regional Settings in Settings
Click on Timetab
Change your Time style to the first one on the list (h:mm:ss tt)
Click OK

I hope this helps. Let me know.

That's the ticket. RommelS has it writen down for you.

I went though the same thing, only I wanted the 24hr time to show up. :devil:

It's strange the default was 24hr it usually is standard 12hr you just need to tell it the time zone you want to be counted in.

Glad to be of help ^_^

I keep mine on 24 hour mode all the time, it's just easier not
dealing with that AM and PM crap. I just set my regional settings to HH:mm:ss
