scheduled scanning

[gerardwil]

Hi,

Nick asked on Wilders for a screenshot regarding scheduled scanning. I have the same issue there is only a 12 hour clock without am/pm options.

Best regards,

Gerard

Thanks for the pic - on all of our test systems and work computers, we have the AM/PM indicator. Which version of Windows are you running?

The "trick" is, when you are using the 24 hour clock, to still have the text 'AM' and 'PM' present in the appropriate combo boxes: AM Symbol and PM Symbol. (Control Panel -> Regional Options -> Time Tab) When they're empty you'll get the results you are describing.

I know it sounds illogical, but apparently SAS expects those fields to have values even though the System time is in the 24 hour format and the use of AM/PM is unnecessary.

My OS is 2000, but it should work the same way on XP.

I know it's late, and I must be missing something, but....how do I set scheduled scanning for just "custom scan" and not the rest? I want to do full system scan on demand and disable quick scan completely. There does not appear to be a frequency selection of "never" available (for instance if I enable scheduled scanning for custom scanning and then pull down full scan from the list). It appears that if I select scheduled scanning, I have to select a schedule for all three levels of scans. Another approach would be to have a 'save schedule' button on the schedule setup window. What am I missing?

The scheduled scan ONLY performs the scan that is selected in the scheduler - so if you select CUSTOM SCAN, it will perform a custom scan at the time you have selected.

Thanks, I changed those settings and I have now 24 clock + AM and PM

Thanks for the clarification on the scheduled scans selection.
