Hi All,
This came through another list. Thought you'd be interested, if you
haven't already done it. I don't have Win98 anymore (for a short time), so
don't know the exact sequence for that one.
List, this simple, easy correction to your PC regional settings is
probably worth making -- [stolen from the Arkansas GS list]. You lucky
Mac users are already safe, I understand.
>> Have you done this simple correction on your PC to be ready for Year
2000?
>>
>> You must change the "short date style"
>>
>> A setting located in Windows' Control Panel allows the system to use
a
>> two-digit or four-digit year as the Windows default for "short date
>> style." This is the format that many software applications use as
their
>> default date format.
>>
>> To avoid problems that may result with a two-digit year upon the
change
>> from 1999 to 2000, each user needs to change the short date style to
>> indicate a four-digit year.
>>
>> Windows `95
>> 1) Click the Start button once.
>> 2) Go to Settings, then click Control Panel once.
>> 3) Double click the Regional Settings icon.
>> 4) Click the Date tab at the top once.
>> 5) For the short date style make sure that MM/dd/yyyy is
selected.
>> 6) Make sure that the long date style also has a yyyy format.
>> 7) Click the Apply button, then the OK button.
>>
>> Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or Windows 3.1
>> 1) Double click the Main group icon.
>> 2) Double click the Control Panel icon.
>> 3) Double click the International icon.
>> 4) In the Date Format box click the Change button.
>> 5) Put an X in the century box.
>> 6) In the current window, click the OK button.
>> 7) Click the OK button in the International Settings window.
Peace, Judy
