XP Clock Weirdness!

Hi- I was just sitting here online, and the clock on my XP Pro machine just switched to 24hr Military time- all by itself! What's up with that?... Tried changing it back in Control Panel with no luck.
Please advise.
Thanks!

Try setting it back to normal 12hr time, then reboot the PC promptly . . . . not a rock-solid-for-sure fix, but worth a shot.... a reboot can work wonders sometimes!
There may be something in your services and/or start menu that is causing the 24hr time... after a reboot, if it's not normal time, check the "Services" & "StartUp" tabs in your msconfig menu and see if maybe something there is responsible (to access msconfig - click START, click RUN, type msconfig and press ENTER).



(I hope this is a little help to ya' )

 

Hey, thanks for the help!...Yeah, I just went into CP and reset. For some reason, the clock characterization changed to 'HH:mm:ss', so I just changed it back to 'h:mm:ss'.
I use Advanced System Care Pro as a Utility, and I think possibly the 'Deep Scan' tweaked something in Registry. I reset the program back to normal scan so just a normal cleaning of residuals and defrag take place. I have a lot of things hacked in my Registry to improve the performance of this relic pc.
