Here's one for ya, I'm stumped. I'm running XP Pro on an HP laptop and my
calculator will not show numbers less than zero. In other words, there isn't
a decimal point in the info bar like there should be. Example: (0.), and the
keypad button where the decimal point should be located is blank.
Calculations like 10 divided by 3 show 3 without a decimal. Anyone seen this
before?

Try going into control panel and remove the calc from windows components,
reboot and go back to add/remove and add the calc back in.
 
Found the problem, open Regional and Language in control panel, click on
configure... and select the numbers tab. In the decimal attribute select (.),
and that fixed it. I have no idea how it got changed.
I hope this can help others, Thanks, RCY
 
I certainly learned something new. I didn.t know the calculator was affected
by regional settings.
