MY BOINC has been showing a 12 hour clock for no reason for some time now, and I am trying everything to change it back to showing 24 hours clocks.

In Windows, I have set:

and

So everything there is set to show a 24 hour notation.
My clock shows 24 hour notation:


So why can't BOINC do it then?
The Deadline in Tasks looks like this:

While all messages in the Event Log all show:

So someone, do tell me what hoops I have to jump through to get BOINC to follow my system clock. :-)

Windows 7 - 64bit Ultimate fully updated.
BOINC 7.2.11 - 64bit
One tired Jord.

Where does it say you have to enter 2 capital H to get the 24 hour annotation? [Certainly, I've never seen a leading zero in the systray on the hours when running with a 24 hour display and 1 H in the regional settings]. By omission of tt for AM/PM it's an indication you're on a 24 hour clock.

Whilst, my system shows the 12 hour annotation in the Event log

WCG 9/14/2013 1:31:04 PM [checkpoint] result FAHV_x1ZTZ_disulfide_A_0129948_0312_0 checkpointed


AND, 24 hours notation for the deadlines in Tasks View, with leading zero, whilst everything else in the system shows 24 hours on my W7-64 and 32 bits... it does not bother me, so you might want to speak to Dr A.

(For completeness, v 7.2.11 64 bits in service install and booted last about 2 weeks ago.)

BOINC Manager seems to set the time and date format according to the language setting within the BOINC Manager itself. Showing



in a UK-localised copy of Windows7/64 showing 24-hour format for the system clock, for a Dutch language setting for BOINC Manager (options)

Now, can anyone tell me the Dutch for 'restore default settings'? :P

Edit - never mind, found it.

English:


American:


Note how the DMY - MDY order has switched in the last one, too. All via language setting in BOINC Manager itself, didn't touch Windows settings. Testing done with Manager v7.2.11

Thanks, that was it. I had my notation at American English, not English English.
