Hi,

I have a couple of application with some timing based on the "GetTickCount"
API call. Since this function counts milliseconds since the PC was turned on
and is a DWord it will roll over every 49.7 days. I would like to check this
but rather than having my PC to run continously for 49.7 days, I wonder if
there is anywhere where this number can be changed. I.e. so I can set it
close and then see what happens with my programs when it rolls over.

Jens.
