  • @pvaju896: IIRC = "If I Recall Correctly" And how would you like to retrieve said time? C#?, VB.NET, other? If you're installing something on Windows, just access the system clock (DateTime.Now in C#).

  • Not DateTime.Now works from System time.. Other one counter- clock is running with BIOS.. It is actully retreiving value from BIOS(Other CHIp).. How can we retreive that couter value..??
