GPL and windows time

2 posts by 2 people · 20 Feb 1999 - 20 Feb 1999

Hi, Has anybody else got this 'problem' with GPL that after a long GPL session, your Windows clock (win98 here) is some minutes behind the real time? It seems to happen to me every time I play GPL and only with GPL. Just wondering what could cause this? If I reboot, then the time is correct again, so whatever GPL does to windows clock doesn't get saved to the BIOS clock. -Juha --
Yes, I've seen this same problem especially when hosting a bunch of long GPL online sessions, maybe GPL takes over so much of the Win9x resources that the system clock loses a tick or two every so often and falls behind, either way it's good to know I'm not the only one getting the problem. Win95 OSR2 here. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva
