    Mine uses 24-hour time by default
    Then again, it's a German version.

    "go to "start" > "Control Panel" > "Regional and Languages Options"...under
    the "Regional Options" tab, click on the "Customize..." button > click on
    the "Time" tab and in the "Time format:" dropdown menu, select HH:mm:ss to
    get military time...then click "OK" and then "OK" again out of the windows.

    I do not know if the computer needs to be restarted to take effect."

    Did the date reset too? Might be a CMOS battery on the way out.
