HIGHLY recommend you all do this if you are running Microsoft operating system. . . MICROSOFT DEFAULT DATE CORRECTION FOR Y2K The default date settings in Windows 95/98 and NT, and Y2K effects are worth checking out and corrected before many Fund applications are affected. THE PROBLEM This date setting feeds application software with runtime date values -- being set by default to two digit year, it WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00. SOLUTION/CORRECTION PROCEDURE ONE Double click on "My Computer" TWO Double click on "Control Panel" THREE Double click on "Regional Settings" icon FOUR Click on "Date" tab at top of page FIVE Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a "two digit" year. It probably does. That's the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT & is the date that feeds application software -- The "two digit" year WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00. SIX Click on the button across from "Short Date Style" and select the option that shows, mm/dd/yyyy (Be sure your selection has four Y's showing, not two). then click on "Apply" and then click on "OK" at the bottom. Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. How many people know about it? How many people know to change that? What will be the effect? Who knows. But this is another example of the pervasiveness and systematic nature of the problem. _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Eat the hay & spit out the sticks! - A#1's mule" RTKB&G4JC! http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
