Offline system time correction
Hi everybody,
I have a computer that has some problems with the system time and date. It's runs windows 98 and is has no internet connection.
I am looking for a program or a piece of code that can run a parallel clock, that I can manually set to the correct time. From that point on it should correct the system time every once in a while. ( minute? )
The reason why I am looking for this, is that somehow every day the system time changes 2 hours. I would like an independant clock correcting it when this happens.
I know there are a lot of time correction programs when you search on google, but they all require internet connections because they use a different method ( checking a time server every once in a while ).
Does anybody have an idea?
Regards,
Chris

So, how do you expect to correct time with a broken clock???? How would it even know it is correct? All the programs you have seen use the internet to connect with a military clock to correct the time. Unless you have a clock like this on a seperate system you are blind and setting the time...

You can't run a software clock, it's physically impossible for software to regulate itself.

Re: Offline system time correction
The problem is that whatever is causing the Win98 clock to run 2 hours off every day will do the same thing to the other clock you run. You need an external hardware clock that a program can read and set the computer to. An internet connection would be much easier, since the hardware is easily available.
The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
