Date and Time
Hi, for some reason when i double click on the time (as i want to change the
time), nothing happens. Is there any other way, via the command prompt for eg, that this setting can be changed? via c:/windows\?????? etc? Excluding the control panel. regards |

Excluding the control panel. regards start run timedate.cpl is the same as the control panel ...or you could use the old "time" or "date" commands at a dos prompt |

Why not fix the problem instead of looking for a workaround? If nothing happens
when you double-click the clock, try directly double-clicking the timedate.cpl file in the Windows\System folder. If you get the same 'nothing' behaviour there, extract a new copy of timedate.cpl to the System folder, from your Windows 98 CD. Using SFC to extract a file: http://www.rickrogers.org/sfc.htm#1pp http://www.rickrogers.org/sfc.htm#2pp http://tinyurl.com/3pyth HOW TO: Extract Original Compressed Windows Files: http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;129605#5 To troubleshoot Control Panel problems: Click StartFindFiles or Folders. In the "Named" box, type: *.cpl and in the Look In drop-down box, select the C: drive. Click Find Now. Maximise the window and click on the heading "In Folder" to sort the files by directory. Look at the files listed in the \Windows\System directory. Double-click each file in turn...if some work, but one of the files gives you the error, that Control Panel file is corrupt. To fix the error you must replace the .cpl file using the Extract one file option of System File checker (SFC).
