Time manipulation

[frontmill]

hey all, i was wondering if anyone knows a way to manipulate the time on your pc. I mean like making it run slower, that for example 1 second lasts 5 seconds or the opposite, making the time fly... by making 5 seconds pass in only a few milliseconds...

This would be a great help to me.. thanks in advance

Well every second you could change the time 5 second ahead.... and every 5 second you could turn it 4 seconds back.... But really why would you do that...

[frontmill]

no.. i dont think that will work... why i want it? it can be used for so many things.. extending trial periods without doing anything illegal, fooling games in which time decides your score.. etc..

[Shevilie]

... dont be sure about the trial (a lot is using the net to check the time)... and no you cant just slow down the time function

Oh, but you can. Grab a copy of Auto3Lib and run this:

#include <A3LTime.au3>

; Pop open the clock so we can watch
Run("RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl")
_Lib_WinWaitActive("Date and Time Properties")

; Get current time adjustments
$aInfo = _Time_GetSystemTimeAdjustment()

; Slow down clock
_Time_SetSystemTimeAdjustment($aInfo[1] / 10, False)
Sleep(5000)

; Speed up clock
_Time_SetSystemTimeAdjustment($aInfo[1] * 10, False)
Sleep(5000)

; Reset time adjustment
_Time_SetSystemTimeAdjustment($aInfo[1], True)
