Date format on X axis of daily graphs

I notice that my automagically created daily graphs (temp hi/lo, rain, sunshine hours) use the US date format (mm/dd/yyy) rather than UK format (dd/mm/yyy). I have looked in the help files and forum posts and so far not located any way of changing this. Any suggestions?

It should be using your system setting, so I think that you may have your PC set to a US date format. If not, then perhaps there is a problem with the data in your dayfile.txt. If you zip up the diags folder and attach it together with your dayfile.txt, I'll take a look.
Your weather station doesn't have a logger - you are running Cumulus all the time, rather than closing it down overnight, yes?

System setting in Win 10 is definitely dd/mm/yyyy. I am running a Davis VP2+ with data logger, but I have Cumulus running all the time. Files attached.

Your profile states Vista & WMR88, hence Steve's comments.

The Windows API is saying that you are using US settings:
2/13/2016 11:11:31.529 : Locale = 1033 ENU: United States (English (United States))
2/13/2016 11:11:31.555 : Short date format: 2/13/2016
2/13/2016 11:11:31.555 : Long date format: Saturday, February 13, 2016
2/13/2016 11:11:31.555 : Short time format: 11:11 AM
2/13/2016 11:11:31.555 : Long time format: 11:11:31 AM
2/13/2016 11:11:31.555 : VarToDateTime is using this format to convert dates: M/d/yyyy

Thanks - found the right config now - too many settings in W10
