When trying to change to a new time zone, I noticed that the only choice I
have is Indiana time. Before I had a choice of selecting a time from
anywhere in the world and now the only one that shows up is Indiana. Can
anyone give me advice on this matter?
 
Clearly the OS is upset because it wants to stay
Back Home in Indiana.

Are you saying that in the ControlPanel Date/Time applet the scrolldown
window up top shows only one time zone?

Are the entries showing in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

If not you can copy them from another Windows 2000 computer or ask again
if that is the problem and someone can post the reg file entries for you
to use.

A resource kit program called TZEDIT can create entire new time zone
definitions. If the TZ defs are missing from your registry, you could
copy them from another machine.
I've used TZEDIT to create some entirely wacko timezones for
stress-testing bits of software that deals with dates and times, so if
you cannot export and import registry stuff from
HMLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones on another
machine, that may help.

The interesting question is WHY they are not there. Are you the victim
of one of these 'registry cleaner' programs that delete far more than
they should?

Yes when I open the Date/Time applet it only shows one time zone and the map
below it only shows the state of Indiana. The other machines around me have
the entire world map to choos from.
