24 hr clock ?huh . we have 12 hr in us.

Is this the reason?

Why does emerging consistently fail?
Your clock MUST be set CORRECTLY. To do this, run the following command as root:

date MMDDhhmmYYYY

For example, for Jan 24th 2004 10:38pm:

date 012422382004 01 24 2238 2004

if you mean settings for the tool box I have nothing beside it to click on as for your vbset what is the command line please. Perhaps that is why I ca not see the "small arrow" so If you would be kind enough Please tell me step by step how to run xbvset then I may see the arrow Thank you
