Weird Date issues

[maximusam2391]

I've noticed recently that when in Finder, all folders/files have a Modified Date of somewhere in January 2009 or January 2008, regardless of when it was actually modified/created. My clock at the top left-hand corner says Oct 20 though. Any thoughts?

Did you edit System Preferences->Language & Text->Formats->Dates?

If so, go back there and use the buttons at the bottom to change the date format, don't type it in manually.

Wow, I don't remember changing those things, but its fixed now. Thanks!
