24 hour clock and scheduled scan

I, and another person, use a 24 hour clock on our systems.
When attempting to schedule a scan for any time past 12,
the program will accept the value (for example 15:00) and
then will reset the scan time back to the morning time (in
the above example it will reset to 03:00).

This prevents us from doing scans in the afternoon/evening.

Any way to fix this?

Here is a solution presented by Bill Sanderson - please, try this:

"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 scan
in 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."
 
The previous version did the scan on Monday when I
selected Wednesday. That is probably a plus/minus problem
because we start the week on Monday and not on Sunday.

Now, I cannot find out whether this problem still occurs
because of the 24 hour clock problem. I turn on my
computer only in the evening when coming back from work.

This kind of problems are quite boring because Microsoft
should know about Europe.

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
