is there any way that you know to alter the pc clock?
I heard that if the batteries on the motherboard are running low, the clock slows down a little bit. But I want to be able to control it using code or some kind of software. I also would like to learn how to speed it up (that would be easy I guess after being able to slow it down)
I do not know where to start from..

I'd appreciate any help

thanks
 
The clock speed is hardware dependent. You could easily write a program which contains a separate clock; you could set it to count, say, 1 for every 1.3 seconds of the real internal clock.

What do you want it for? Messing with Windows (or Unix) internals is not a good idea and it's not easy, nor is it easily reversible. A separate program sounds like a better idea. I could code it for you if you wanted.
 
Man, I must have had my naïve hat on. Well, go ahead, try to slow down the windows system clock. Then come back when you need help reinstalling windows because nothing will work.
 
Go into system properties and reverse the warp engine making sure that the anti-matter is more positive than negative.
 
no, its not for using unregistered programs longer, but good idea =)
I am working on a game, I created a countdown timer. That timer counts down every second, the clock of the computer counts up.
Without messing with my own code, using an outer approach, I was trying to alter the system clock to see how that countdown timer would be altered. That is how people can cheat in my game. I am searching for a way to stop that.
So please if you have a coherent idea, just post it...

oh ok.... i see.... well maybe sync it with the windows server as i said above or untick it and then change the time yourself.
