There is No Time Zone !!!

[mrwill]

I have a problem changing the time zone or adding another one, because it
seems as all the time zones are somehow deleted! nothing happens when I click
on the "Change time zone" Button! i also tried system restore and the problem
didn't fix...
i am using Windows Vista Home Premium...

Do you run a system that allows changes to the time zone in the BIOS
settings? Maybe you need an upgrade to your BIOS. I would check into all
that. A workaround may be to change in the BIOS till you find the new flash
software for it.

Dear Mark,
my BIOS doesn't have any option for changing the timezones, and it is
already the latest version! but i think the problem should be solved in
windows!

Can you check if the following key (and its subkeys) are present in the registry?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|_ SOFTWARE
|__ Microsoft
|___ Windows NT
|____ CurrentVersion
|_____ Time Zones

To open the registry editor, click Start, type regedit.exe and press {ENTER}

I have the same problem here with Vista Business. If I have a look in
the registry, at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|_ SOFTWARE
|__ Microsoft
|___ Windows NT
|____ CurrentVersion
|_____ Time Zones

there is only one value:
Name = default
Type = Reg_SZ
Data = (value not set)


That's all. Any helpfull ideas?

I already found the solution. Ask somebody to make an export of the
"TimeZone" part in the registry. Import this export in your computer,
and ready!
It works again!
