Hello I am running IT on a P4 xp computer. It will not keep time with the computer clock. Advice? 73 Bob W7LRD
Your question is too vague
It.exe will use the default dos time PST.
You will need to Set TZ=(your time zone) if you are using a time other than UTC.
If you are running Old Windows 2000 you may need a Daylight savings time patch. my old W2k box does not have the daylight saving patch so i and to set the computer UTC to get IT to work.

Bob,
Known problem with newer versions of Windows handling of the RTC in a DOS window. I vaguely recall the answer is to run it in a full window, and not minimize it. I don't use ITrack for real time display except for a quick check, but there are others who do use it regularly. They will no doubt have more specifics, if they have not already contacted you off list.
