Hi, I got this information below earlier today. I followed the instructions
and made the necessary changes. Then tonight as I was scanning thru this
month's e-mails I noticed something different. The place where it gives the
date your e-mail is sent changed from a two digit year number to a four digit
number. Before I did the below changes my posts all read 99 for the year; now
that I have changed it the posts read 1999.
So if your mail's date says 99 instead of 1999 perhaps you should look into
this post.
Love AND Light, Karlee

Year Two-Thousand Test
<<<Click on "START."
Click on "SETTINGS."
Double click on "Control Panel."
Double click on "Regional settings" icon (look for the little world
globe).
Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page. (last tab on the top
right)
Where it says, "Short Date Sample," look and see if it shows a "two
digit" year format ("EY"). Unless you've previously changed it (and you
probably haven't) -- it will be set incorrectly with just the two
Y's...it needs to be four!
That's because Microsoft made the 2 digits setting the default setting
for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT.
This date format selected is the date that Windows feeds *ALL*
application software and will not rollover into the year 2000. It will
roll over to the year 00. (*)
Click on the button across from "Short Date Style" and select the option
That shows, "mm/dd/yyyy" or "m/d/yyyy". (Be sure your selection has four
Y's showing, not just "mm/dd/yy).
Then click on "Apply"
Then click on "OK" at the button.
Easy enough to fix. However, every "as distributed" installation of
Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y 2,000 rollover... Pass this along
to
your PC buddies ... no matter how much of a guru they think they are ...
this might be a welcome bit of information! >>
