Default Cannot get date format I want

I have an existing Excel spreadsheet that I have been using a date in for a
very long time. The format I use is ie 03/01/08. I drag across the row and
get the next date for the next columns for the entire month. I have
encountered a problem that now when I type a date in the cell instead of
getting 03/01/08 I get 01/0/1900. I have tried reformatting using the format
drop-down but cannot get it to go back to the normal format. Can anyone help
me?
