I am aware of the scan schedule problems. This bug exists
regardless of using 12 or 24 hour. I have scheduled a weekly scan on Mon, Wed and Fridays at 10:00:00 AM. The scan screen reads "Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday of every week at 112:00 AM" (Something odd there!)It runs 2 scans simultaneously @ 10AM and displays 2 summary boxes. If you select a different time e.g. 9.00 AM everything is OK. Is this a problem with my installation or does anyome else have a problem with a 10 AM scan start time? Thanks Mark |

I also have this problem as does another friend.
Furthermore, if you attempt to enter 19:00 for the scan schedule time and then update schedule, the scheduled time for the scan changes to 07:00 AM. This is despite the fact that the control panel is configured for the 24 hour clock that displays the time correctly on the task bar. Hopefully, the fix will present itself shortly.

By Bill Sanderson:
I've dug into this bug, as follows: Users in locales where the default clock is a 24 hour format will find that they cannot set scheduled scan times in the afternoon. This can be worked around by selecting a time format which uses 12 hour format rather than 24 hour. This is on the Time tab, and a working format is: h:mm:ss tt A non-working format is: any of the choices with a CAPITAL H at the beginning. This isn't my discovery, it was posted by others here, but I've done some testing: 1) I set my language to English (United Kingdom) afternoon settings failed (default time is 24 hour.) Reset time to 12 hour,and afternoon settings worked. 2) I set my language to English (United States) Default time setting is 12 hour. Scheduling scans in the afternoon works fine. Change just the time settings to a 24 hour choice, and you can no longer set up a scheduled scanin the afternoon. This bug appears to me to be new in build 614. Control panel, date, time, language, and regional settings Regional and language options Click customize next to your locale setting Click the time tab. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Mark" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:03af01c58d14$478e0800$a601280a@phx.gbl... >I am aware of the scan schedule problems.
