Greetings Great CSers,
Here is a simple fix for your PC clock for Y2K.
This Y2K tip also applies your computer's at home.
This Y2K tip was sent to me today. I checked my computer and sure
enough,
it was set for the two digit year. I have changed it now. Maybe we
should all
forward this information to everyone we know. It's worth a try if it
helps
us roll our PCs over from 00 to 2000.
================================================
For those of you running Windows, this is a fix for a small Y2K problem
almost everyone should do...
After running this quick little test, much to my surprise, I learned
that
both of my computers would have failed on 01-01-2000 due to a computer
clock
glitch. Fortunately, a quick fix is provided, should your computer fail
the test.
I submit the following for your consideration:
=====================================
1. Double click on "My Computer".
2. Double click on "Control Panel".
3. Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.
4. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.
5. Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a "two
digit" year. Of course it does. That's the default setting for Windows
95,
Windows 98 and NT.
(This date RIGHT HERE is the date that feeds application software and
WILL
NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00.)
6. 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)
7. Then click on "Apply" and then click on "OK" at the bottom. Done.
===========================================
Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows
worldwide
is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover.
Enjoy Bless you Bob Lee
