LOL Tim. Do not feel bad. Vista just takes a little bit to get use to with all of the differences from XP and features.

I was assuming the obvious, and there by overlooking the obvious. In this case, I assumed I couldn't change the clock to 24 hour time, and never bothered checking the help section, so I ended up missing it entirely.
