On my system, I right-clicked the clock. I selected "Adjust Date & Time".
Then I clicked the "Date and Time" tab. In the "Time format" drop down 
box, I selected pH:MM:SS AMPM.

Now my clock is in 12 hour mode. For example it shows 5:00 am, and later 
on it shows 5:00 pm.

This has fixed the time on 3 Dapper susyems here.

HTH.
