Hi All,
This may have already been reported but I didn't see it
posted going through what part of the newsgroup posts I
did. I have the latest Beta version 615 and I have it set
up with a Scheduled Scan to run every week on Saturday at
8:15 PM. Haven't had any troubles with the time or it
running the scan on schedule (like I see some other
people have). In fact, I haven't had any trouble with
this program at all and I love it. Does a great job!
Anyway, the only "bug" I see is that on the "System
Summary" (on the main page when you first open it) when I
check the "Scan Schedule" by running my mouse over it,
right below where it tells what my schedule is, it
says "A scheduled scan has not yet been run" even though
it has performed many scheduled scans. Don't know if this
matters but see it posted alot; I DO have an
Administrators Account. Just thought I'd let it be known
in case no one has noticed that yet. Later.
 
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.

Don't know if your response was directly in answer to my
post or not but just to make it clear, my scheduled scan
DOES run as it is suppose to at 8:15 PM every Saturday,
it's just that the "Scan Schedule" has the sentence, "A
scheduled scan has not yet been run" on it even though it
has ran the scheduled scan. I know it has ran because
when I come to my computer after that time on Saturday
night the scan results window is up showing that the scan
has run and what it has found, if anything.
