Re: Date Format Changes Back

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The settings do change - my Outlook Calendar displays "Saturday, October 25"
when I set my Regional and Language Options to Long Date Format (dddd, MMMM
dd, yyyy).

After an indeterminate amount of time (usually a week, more or less), it
reverts back to "10/25". I then go back to Regional and Language Options and
click Advanced and Date, then change it back again. Then, after a time it
starts all over again.

I don't recall when it first started, but it's probably been less than 4-5
months since it began. I don't know of any major changes to the computer
other than normal use.

I suppose I may be looking in the wrong place - how do I tell Outlook to
display long date instead of short date? It always displayed long date in the
weekly calendar - for as long as I can remember! Now it behaves as I've
described above.

Windows XP SP2, Office 2003 Professional. IBM ThinkPad X31 circa 2003.

Thanks,

Ernie

Do the settings in control panel--regional and languages actually change?
Or, is it something in Outlook?
As I said the long date does not have MM/dd/yy so I am confused as to your
problem..

I want a long date, it keeps reverting back to short date.

It changed sometime after midnight last night (which would be Friday).
No
virus scans seem to be connected with this.

Honestly, finding a program that could be influencing this would be
like
finding a needle in a haystack - there are just too many possibilities.

Does anyone know of an update or some other thing that might be causing
this?

I can't imagine what could have the "authority" to go in and change my
date
format.
