Allowing extra time-like dimensions, the cosmological constant problem in Kaluza-Klein theories is examined. A new class of vacuum solutions is obtained for D=11 supergravity with a vanishing cosmological constant. In particular, there exists a solution with an SO(4)×U(1) gauge group, and without ghosts and tachyons in the low-energy limit of the effective four-dimensional theory.
