How about

$hour=@HOUR
$min=@MIN
$sec=@SEC
MsgBox(1, "Time is" , $hour & ":" & $min & ":" & $sec)

A little digging reveals that _NowTime() just evaluates the @HOUR, @MIN, @SEC, ... macros through another function in the <date.au3> include file, _DateTimeFormat(), which in turn looks up your locale settings in the registry to find out whether to display the time in 24hr or 12hr format. Obviously on your system (and mine) it decides to give you the time in 12hr format.

You can get a string for the proper time in 24hr format by just using @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC. You don't have to use the <date.au3> package at all.

hope that helps
