Win98 - Regional Setting - Date will not respond
I am running Windows 98 and my date will not display, all it keeps showing is
????. I tried fixing it by changing my Regional Settings and when I clicked on the Date tab it just stops responding. How do I correct this problem?

How do I correct this problem? Maybe you've got an illegal date in your computer. Open a doswindow, and use the 'date' command to give the date a proper value. If that doesn't work either, try the time setup in the BIOS setup.

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. The Regional Settings control panel file is intl.cpl; the Date/Time control panel file is timedate.cpl. I would try extracting new copies of each, to the Windows\System folder, using the 'Extract one file' option of System File checker (SFC): How to use System File Checker (SFC) to extract a file: http://www.rickrogers.org/sfc.htm#1pp http://www.rickrogers.org/sfc.htm#2pp HOW TO: Extract Original Compressed Windows Files: http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;129605#5 Description of Control Panel (.cpl) Files http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=149648 How to Troubleshoot Control Panel Issues in Windows http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=299923 -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Win_Newbie" u17185@uwe wrote in message news:59bea695ab01c@uwe...
