> Unfortunately, my system tests in Excel incidently switch the clock of the computer
No comprendo, bitte enlighten si sich.
-Your PC -main- clock can only be accessed via your BIOS software on start up
(the CMos settings software, eg the Computer Management operating system)
and this clock is usualy stored in a chip (most will have it "baked" in a chip itself)
on the motherboard, and it runs on the on the motherboard build (tiny round flat) battery.
-Your Windows clock (protected mode) can be accessed via the Window's Control Panel,
via the Window's RUN box(Win Prompt) and via the Window's VDOS box(VDOS Prompt).
It gets its information from the real PC clock(above), and presents this as though it is
the PC clock(eg a VPC clock, a virtual clock), now on your DeskTop (eg thus in Windows).
-Your DOS clock (real mode) can be accesed via the DOS prompt, eg with the DATE and
TIME commands.
Excel doesn't get mentioned here, because it is only getting "information" from Windows
and its Window's clock, eg it cannot directly access the Windows clock, let alone your
PC clock, let alone your PC's BIOS.
It is "read only" information given by Windows.
Shuss,
