Dates are in American format
Applies to all versions
Log checker uses your computers default (system) and user date settings.
Both should be set to d/MM/yyyy.
Frequently when installing the computer the default US date format is accepted, then the regional settings are changed to localized date format for the user. This change does NOT change the default (system) settings. Running Log Checker with the system date as American and user date as Australian may cause unexpected behaviour and errors.
To check your date setting.

Start Log Checker |
|
Chose Help-> About from the Main window. The date formats are displayed in the second group. The system and user date format should be d/MM/yyyy |
To correct the problem, contact your IT support person
Show them the information from the help about box and this web page.
They will need to

login as a local administrator |

then reboot your computer |
An alternative method is to edit the Windows Registry so that the System Default Settings conform to the Australian date format.
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International
iDate = 1 ( 0 = MM/DD/YY, 1=DD/MM/YY, 2=YY/MM/DD)
