selecting scan times

[Brent]

I am trying to set the schedule scan time to 9pm. So I
have set the start time to 21.00 hours clicked on the
update schedule box, click on O.K. after the prompt, but
the time keeps on reverting to 9am for the start time.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong

Go to start/config/Country settings
Change Language to US Inglisch.
Close with OK or Apply
Open MSA change all your time settings the way you wont.
Then go back to set your default Language.
MSA will scan and update on the right time!

This test was done on a XP home and 2000 OS PC In the Netherlands, i am
Dutch and live in Amsterdam

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,

Same problem occurs here as well. I guess, Microsoft
needs to make a patch for this issue.

Great tip Tom, works exactly as you said. Now MS spyware
actually has a chance of running automatically.
