Hi,


Can anyone advise me please how i can go about (in c++ builder)
reading the cmos mainboard hardware clock, and using that info to
update the windows XP software clock.  I would need this app to run
quiently in the background and update the os from the cmos say once
every 2 hours.

I have a machine that runs an graphicaly intensive application (3rd
party), that for some reason not only knocks the windows XP clock
accuracy out by a large margin, but always makes it inaccurate by
putting the clock forward in time only, never backwards.
Eg, i ran it once for 13 hours and the XP clock was 10min forward. I
then ran it for 45 min and the clock was 15min forward.  There dont
seem to be an consistancy to the problem.


I undertsand that on boot XP reads the cmos clock, then maintains its
own internal counter. On this machine that means when it reboots (and
its scheduled to reboot 1 per day) the clock is accurate, becasue the
cmos clock is not affected by the application.

The comupter is standalone with no internet connection and no facility
to fit an external clock for updates.
