The 24 hour clock is simply unamerican, just like the metric system. Thank goodness Jefferson pushed through the dime-dollar-eagle (i.e. base 10) version of money, or we would have the all-american shillings and such. > -- But back to iCal. What version do you use ? iCal itself is version 2.0.3 (1055). It is running under Mac OS X 10.4.7. > I have 3.9 on two computers and I can set the 24 hour in iCal > without a hitch, however, my iCal in my 10.4.7 just balks.

I've never found a separate setting. There doesn't seem to be anything in the preference (plist) file, either. So... I assume that the settings are in the same format as the international settings. This certainly seems to be true in the Finder and in Mail. In any case, everything has always worked just fine, even with my international settings set at the US, and the one customization of the time. There is a thread on the apple discussion lists [1] where the fix I had mentioned (customizing in the international preference pane rather than by using the date and time) fixed the problem you're having.
