    The digital clock on the computer is in 24 hour mode, how do I change it to 12 hour mode (if it's possible).

    Also, how do I assign the hotkeys above the keyboard?

    I could've sworn I asked this same question in another post, but I couldn't find the thread...

    To answer your question about the AudioDJ clock, there is no way to toggle between 12 and 24 hour modes. It's stuck in 24 hour mode. This seems fairly silly to me, but oh well.

    ... You do know that the U.S is possibly the only last country in the world using this (maybe apart from the U.K, but since they're in EU, they might as well use the 24 hour format), do you? ;)

    Good point.

    But how hard would it be to make the clock mode configurable? Even though the US is behind the curve when it comes to international standards, that shouldn't mean our preferences should be neglected. The last time I rode in a Honda or Toyota, there were kilometers AND miles listed on the speedometer, and the clock said 6:00 at dinner time, not 18:00.

    Yeaaa, metric system!

    The 24 Hr clock is hard coded into the motherboard. You can't change it.

    To answer your other question; There is software on the CD for the hotkeys that you need to install to make them configurable.

    However, even without the software installed, the email and WWW buttons work just fine.

    The DJ clock runs off of the CMOS battery and therefore will only run on 24 hour time. This is because this function operates outside of the Windows (or Linux) environment.
