When I received this and checked my computers I found they = both needed to be changed, even though I had them both checked for Y2K = compatibility many months ago. I don't know how important this is, but = I fixed mine and I recommend you check yours. If you are running = Windows, this is an easy fix for a Y2K problem everyone should do, so = I'm told.=20 Regards,=20 Clyde Hollinger, RPT=20 TEST=20 1 . Double click on "My Computer".=20 2. Double click on "Control Panel".=20 3. Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.=20 4. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.=20 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.=20 6. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of "Short Date Style"=20 7. Select the option mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your selection has four = Y's, not two)=20 8. Click "OK".=20 Easy enough to fix.
