>
> 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. It probably 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 the drop-down arrow to the right of "Short Date Style"
>
> 7. Select the option mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your selection has four Y's,
> not two)
>
> 8. Click "OK".
>
> Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows
> worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. Please feel free to pass
> this on to your friends and associates.
