    You notice it says 01/07/2020 - that's English. Also it has 01 instead of the single digit i.e. 7/1/2009.

    Curious.

    Curious indeed, but may just be a glitch.

    I'm sure we'll find all kinds of strange in the next few months.

    I can set my date format to add in the leading zeros or not to both months and days....

    If you set the setting to use no leading zeroes:

    You get dates with no leading zeroes:

    If you set it to *use* leading zeroes:

    You get leading zeroes:

    Hi John,

    Did you find a way to set it to the year 2020 - short of using PS of course.

    No, that one is escaping me - but the rest of it can easily be done, so the 2020 thing I am not sure about....

    Have you tried installing W7 with your Bios clock set to a different time?

    That is what I was thing too - but that date *should* be hard coded into the bootloader, I would think, so that should not make a difference...

    If it *does* make a difference, then someone at M$ is gonna get slapped.

    I got my old P4 rig out and I am gonna try it right now....

    I know there was a crack that reloads the timer or something.

    Yeah, but it should prevent *installation* in the first place.
