Windows Vista Time is Military time, how to i get it to read standard time?

Question

I am running windows Vista 32 bit, Everything runs fine except the TIME in the task bar is always in Military Time. I have gone through the date and time settings from the clock and the control panel and cannot find any options to change this to standard time. I understand military time, but really, just do not want to deal with it and I['d rather have the Standard time showing. Any suggestions? there wouldn;t be a patch would there?

hi spatuala, hit start>settings>control panel the times is set to time and date under internet time change settings to show the correct time and date this is important and also location so like if you are from the south you would be central time and so on so set your settings if this does not work take your tower to a computer repairman he will do it for you in a matter of a few seconds and only charge you a couple of bucks. good luck hope i have been helpful to you
