Does anyone else have the issue where release dates are always displayed in U.S. format, regardless of the language setting? Is there another setting somewhere???

This is a known problem of Win7 OEM versions

To solve this open the Windows Control Panel -> Language and Region Settings

Set USA as language and region
Restart
Set back language and region to Australia
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?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it made no difference. Date format is still mm/dd/year.

Any other suggestions?

Try the alternative method

Windows Control Panel -> Language and Region -> Tab "Administration" (or equivalent) -> Button "Change Region Scheme" (or equivalent) for Non-Unicode programs.

Procedure is the same as above (Change to USA - Restart -> Change to Australia -> Restart)

Sorry if the names of buttons and tabs don't match the actual names, I'm using a localised German version.

I followed your instructions but it made no difference. All dates within the program are still in U.S. format. ???

Strange,

DVDProfiler uses the date-format as specified by Windows.

Does the account you are working with have administratorial rights?
If not, please temporarily change the account to an Administrator-account and try again with the solution I suggested first.

Yes, I have an admin account. I tried your process again but to no avail. In the end I changed the date format to match what Profiler was currently displaying. Opened/Closed Profiler. Changed the date format back to dd/mm/yy and opened Profiler again. Now it's displaying dd/mm/yyyy. So an extra 2 digits in the year format for some reason, but at least now the day and month are displayed correctly. I opened the Beta version of Profiler and it's also now displaying dd/mm/yyyy. So a 99% success. I can live with that. Thanks for tying to help. It's appreciated.

Glad to hear it's (almost) working now.
