We have set of (200 over) reports with date-formats selected as default date-format as in windows format - dd/MM/yyyy.

Reports are viewed through the viewer (CR version 9) on IE.

We install CR on a different machine which had a date format of MM/dd/yyyy and then realised after looking into the application that the reports were displaying the formats as what is in the control panel settings.

Though we change the settings and the reports when viewed through the designor is correctly displaying the format as expected but that does not seem to be the case when viewed through the viewer on IE.

But once you open one of the reports force a change and save back the settings for each date-columns it shows correctly even in the viewer.

We uninstalled CR (deleted registry entries in hkey_local_machine\software\ and deleted relevant folders) and re-installed back CR only to see no change.

Any ideas what this would be causing this problem?
Any help appreciated !
