Anyone has an idea how to solve this?Thank you very much in advance.You could try reading your location from one of the many free IP Lookup sites (i.e. http://www.ip-adress.com/) and then use a timezone lookup site (i.e. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/search.html) based on the city returned from the first site. Might be a little more complicated than you were wanting to get into. This wouldn't work if you are using a VPN or Proxy connection as it would display the location based on the first public IP address, but should work fine for local connections. Check out the IE AutoIt functions for help on reading webpages if you haven't already. -Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realm 18 Posted August 11, 2010 There is a User Defined Function called _ComputerGetSystem() in CompInfo.au3 that will poll some systems specs including the time zone it is in My Contributions: Unix Timestamp: Calculate Unix time, or seconds since Epoch, accounting for your local timezone and daylight savings time.

At least that's what I gathered.-Aaron Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
