Currently on the mainpage of your local (at least mine), the Last Watched date column and the DVD Release date column display in the Day/Month/Year format (ex: 07/04/2012 for April 7th, 2012). I don't know if this is the proper way of writing a date in this format, I don't care, it confuses me.    I much prefer the Month/Day/Year format, just for personally, how I speak. I always say April 7th, 2012. I don't say The 7th of April, 2012. So I'm always confused looking at these dates. I could've sworn they used to display in the Month/Day/Year format, but with the last program update, they no longer do.

Is there a simple way I can re-arrange this in my local to display it the way I'd prefer it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Date display is not something that could be set in DVDProfiler. It is using the Windows locality settings.

So if the date-format in DVDProfiler doesn't match your local default it is most likely that your Windows installation got caught in a known Win7-OEM-Bug.

To fix it:
- Set the locality of your system to USA (via control panel of Windows)
- Restart
- Set locality back to Canada
- Restart

Problem should be gone now. But only if MM/DD/YYYY is the default date format of Canada.
If not, simply change the date format to the desired value within your Windows locality settings.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
