Hi Doreen, Microsoft like to hide things like this. Go to Control Panel, and select Regional and Language Options. There are three tabs, you want the "Regional Options" one - which will likely be the default. Click on the Customize button. There are four tabs - select the "Time" tab. Go down to "Time Format", and change the two upper case H letter to lower case h. Click the Apply button, then O.K. and when back at the previous dialog, again click apply and OK. Job done. George. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of doreen yale Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 4:53 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] CHANGING TIME CLOCK Hi folks: Can anyone tell me how to change my current setting from the 24 hour clock designation to the 12 hour clock one? I am running windows xp and jaws 7 and I just find the 24 hour clock an annoyance. I thought there should be something in the time and date display in the Control Panel but couldn't find anything there. Thanks. DOREEN YALE.
