hi simon.
yes i have checked the clock and this is not it. everything is fine with it. i dont understand.... heellppp....

Have you installed or uninstalled anything just prior to this happening ?
Have you updated your AV and run a scan ?
Can you restore your OS back to when it was ok if you have installed something ?

I did a little search and there are alot of problems with this (ON XP AND 2000) and this is the fix that seems to be on most of them ?  

Am not techie and have no idea if you have tried this or why it would change if it was okay before ? ............but here you are ........

 A. This is due to the Short Date Style in the Regional Settings of your computer being different to the default setting (normally set to dd/MM/yyyy hence the error).
OK so how do you change it?
- Go to the Control Panel and Double Click 'Regional Settings'
- Click on the Date Tab
- Now look under 'Short Date' you will see an option labelled 'Short Date Style'
- Select the date format 'dd/MM/yyyy'
- Apply and OK

Better Still, dump XP

Don't listen to Lona, she's old and set in her ways!    Hope Michelle's answer works for you, Labopp.  It's got to be something to do with the time and date settings.

Not nice Simon..Lona may be set in her ways but old, she looks the same age as you   when you had hair  8)

Well I would'nt stand for that Kojack....Tellim Savalas  Simon  

if poor labopp ever comes back for his answer he's gonna wonder what you lot are on about !


but I agree with simon
