timedate.cpl

Jim,

Here’s a long standing problem I’ve had if you have the time to solve it.

If I double click on the time at the bottom right of the OS (Millennium), I get the error message " An error occured while Windows was working with the control panel file C:\WINDOWSSYSTEMTIMEDATE.CPL . I think I need this file uncorrupted becuase when I put in the application recovery disk I get an error saying the recovery CD is not intended for the language and country of this computer. Maybe you could show me how to change the language and country set for my computer.

When I do a search for time date.cpl I get

timedate.cpl C:\WINDOWSSYSTEM 36KB 6/8/2000
TIMEDATE.cpl C:\WINDOWSMSConfogBackups 36KB 6/8/2000
timedate.cpl C:\WINDOWSMSConfogBackups2 36KB 6/8/2000

If I go to Start Run msconfig, click on extract file, type in timedate.cpl,
choose the cabs option, save the cab copy of timedate.cpl to a folder on the desktop, move the timedate.cpl file in System to the desk top, move the cab copy to System, restart the computer, I still get the same error timedate.cpl. error.

Another failed try was to go here

I copied the text into a txt file, saves it as newtime.reg ans as "all files". A while back I tried to put the .reg file into the registry but now I’m afraid to try again becuase this method is not said to be for Win Millennium. I couldn’t find one that was.

Thanks Jim,

Roger
