Hey... Im trying to create a custom shell for Windows 2000 Pro and I am having trouble displaying an accurate clock. I am running an app that gets the current time and time zone info from our server and sets the local machine to the returned values. If I go to Control Panel->Date and Time, I can see that the values are being set correctly. However, in my program I am making calls to GetSystemTime or COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime and both of these return the time before a synchronization. (i.e. If I am running my shell with a timer that calls GetSystemTime, and the time zone changes on the server, this changes the computers time and timezone, but my application keeps returning the old time for calls to the system time inside my TIMERPROC timers. Has anyone seen anything like this.
