Clock Issues with Entourage 2004...???

[Cygnus X-1]

I am running OS X 10.4.1, with Office 2004. Being a former military officer,
I have always had my Mac OS X time settings to 24-hour clock. However,
recently, Entourage 2004 starting showing everything in 12-hour time.

The odd thing is...almost every other aspect and application is displaying
24-hour time! Files in the Finder, for example, iCal (even though I don¹t
use it), NetNewsWire...all show dates in 24-hour format. The only
applications that don¹t are Office applications (for example, I inserted a
field in a Word document and it cam up as 120hour), Lotus Notes, and iTunes.

So I guess my question is (besides if anyone knows how to resolve this) what
clock does Entourage observe? In the PC world, you can set the hardware
clock, and I¹ve seen where that can cause discrepancies in some
applications. Does the Mac work the same? How do I get Entourage to go back
to 24-hour? (It seems minor, but it¹s driving me crazy.)

Here¹s what I¹ve done:
Trashed com.apple.systemprefrences.plist
Checked Date/Time preferences pane. (Checks out as 24-hour.)
Set the International formats so that they all reflect 24 hours.
Repaired permissions.

What else can I do? Please help.

Well, you¹ve done everything I would have...and Entourage uses the clock as
set in System Preferences...so it is a bit of a mystery.

The one thing I see you haven¹t done is to try trashing the Entourage
preference plist file ‹ or at least moving it temporarily to the desktop.
Then log out and then back in again, and launch Entourage and see what
happens.

I considered that, but if there are other applications displaying 12-hour
format, I figured it would have to be something on the OS level.

Have you tried restarting Entourage after resetting the system Time
Preferences?

Yep. Several times. And a few restarts as well.
