The manual is pretty clear, your AHP doesn't work this way?

Setting Up Timers
There are a number of options in the Timer Designer, but you only have to
use the ones you need.
CREATING TIMED EVENTS
On and Off Times
When you first create a timer, the On Time will be set to the current time,
and the off time will be set to 30 minutes later.
Use the arrows to select a new time (in 5 minute increments), or type the
new time in directly. A timer doesn’t have to have both an On and an Off
time. You can make a timer to only turn something on by unchecking the
box next to the Off Time. Likewise, you can uncheck the “On Time” box
and only use the timer to turn a light off.

I know that Dave, but when I try to use the arrows I have those choices ,like 9:05 or 9:59 and I can't change it by typing the desired time directly. If I type 9:15 or any time pass 9 yhe timer memorize 9:00

Ps. Sorry for the quality of my english, I live in Québec city and we speak french.

Your english is great.

It sounds like your software is corrupt. It should have a resolution of five minutes.

Thank you Dave

I have try to uninstall AHP but I didn't find the uninstall program and I didn't find it in the Microsoft uninstal software list. The only way that I find is to remove the AHP directory but I think it's not enought.

I run XP Home and the uninstall for AHP is in the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel.   If you do uninstall it and plan to re-install AHP, back up any .ahx files you created, once AHP is uninstalled delete the following Folders:  ActiveHomePro folder in Program Files, X10 in Program Files/Common Files and My Images on C:/  (that folder is installed by AHP regardless of any cameras.)

Il est regrettable qu'un produit censément global soit ainsi limité à une région géographique.

AHP 3.236 is a BUGGY release!!!!

You need to go to http://software.x10.com/pub/applications/activehome/ and find ahp_updt 204.exe and install it over 3.236. Once the install is finished, use the update in AHP to update it to 3.228 the last good release.
