I have looked high and low. I cannot find a setting anywhere that will change the time from military time to 12 hour time? Anyone know what i am missing?
Thanks.

Settings > System *tab* > Regional Settings > Time *tab*
Look at the options under "Time style" ;)

when I change the settings under the time tab, nothing changes. Calendar still has 24 hour time. I am truly stumped. Any other suggestions?

Go to Time Style : Select h:mm:ss tt

the suggestions so far do not work. I have changed the setting followed with a soft-reset with no luck. My time seems to only change from 24 hour to 24 hour.

You can try to change to a different regional setting in the region tab.
Some regions use HH:mm:ss or H:mm:ss which is for 24 hour system
Some reigions use hh:mm:ss tt or h:mm:ss tt which is for 12 hour plus "am" and "pm".

I have also been unable to change the time settings. I learned to live with it..

just to be clear are you both sure you've scrolled up in the time selection field. You have to scroll to the very top. It starts out about 2 down from the top and the format looks very similar. it all needs to be lower case.
If you've done this then I understand your resignation.
Also a thought, what region are you selecting?

Mike Haha. I told a 16 year old what problems I have been having with the time for the last week and he fixed it in about 3 seconds. I simply didnt realize there was a scroll bar on the side. I hadnt scrolled all the way up. I am a goof.
Thanks for all the help.

Use Resco Registry editor or other program to Edit Registry: 8)
Add the string values:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
create string value:
"STFmt" for h:mm tM
"S1159" for AM
"S2359" for Pm
Then soft reset,
