You may think your PC is "Y2K" compliant, and some little tests may have
actually affirmed that your hardware is compliant, and you may even have
a little company sticker affixed to your system saying "Y2K
Compliant"... but you'll be surprised that Windows may still crash
unless you do this simple exercise below. Easy fix but something
Microsoft seems to have missed in certifying their software as Y2K
compliant.
This is simple to do, and but VERY important.
Click on "START."
Click on "SETTINGS."
Double click on "Control Panel."
Double click on "Regional settings" icon (look for the little world
globe).
Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page, (last tab on the top
right)
Where it says, "Short Date Sample," look and see if it shows a "two
digit" year format ("YY"). Unless you've previously changed it (and you
probably haven't) -- it will be set incorrectly with just the two Y's...
it needs to be four! That's because Microsoft made the 2 digits setting
the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date format
selected is the date that Windows feeds *ALL* application software and
will not rollover into the year 2000. It will roll over to the year 00.
(*)
Click on the button across from "Short Date Style" and select the option
that shows, "mm/dd/yyyy" or "m/d/yyyy." (Be sure your selection has four
y's showing, not just "mm/dd/yy).
Then click on "Apply."
Then click on "OK" at the button.
Easy enough to fix. However, every "as distributed" installation of
Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover... Pass this along
to your PC buddies... No matter how much of a guru they think they
are... this might be a welcome bit of information! >>
