I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 (64bit), so I'm not ruling that out as a possible cause of this problem, but here it is:

When I add events to my DVDs, specifically when I try to indicate the date that I've watched something, DVD Profiler is switching the Month and the Day of the entry. No matter how many times I try to go back and fix it, it keeps getting switched. For example, if I enter that I watched something on February 10th, 2011 (2/10/11), when I hit OK and check the information again, the date has been switched to October 2nd, 2011 (10/2/11). I tried it with a date that has a day number over 12 and it doesn't seem to have a problem with that, so March 21st remains March 21st. But any date where the day is 12 or less, the month and day get switched.

I have tried doing a full repair of the database. This has not worked.

It's quite frustrating as I tend to sort my collection by Date Watched, and now all that data is screwed up for new entries I create.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any possible solutions?

Thanks,
Tom

Date format for windows is handled at a system level. If your locality setting is for countries that normally list day month year (? European and some Asian countries), that's the format that all programs will try to follow.  What is your system locality and day/date preference set to?

This is a common problem with Pre-installed Win7 versions.

To correct this do as follows:

Set Win7 to locality USA
Restart
Set back to correct locality
Restart

Problem should be solved now
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I'll have to check my locality settings tonight (currently at work). I am in Canada though, so I would have assumed that my Win 7 locality settings would already be USA, but maybe we do things differently here in the Great White North.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll let you know how it goes tonight.

Cheers,
T
