Getting datetime incorrect

[nwkien]

Dear All

I have problem on getting datetime,now() value which already plus 18
hours from pacific time.

The step had done is
1. put the time.reg files (GMT+08:00 Kuala Lumpur, Singapore) into
Application folder
2. Perform cold boot.
3. In the datetime option (Control panel), it already change to GMT
+08:00
4. When using application with datetime.now() function, it return time
= system time + 16 hours.
eg: system time: 0100, return time by datetime.now() = 1700
5. if i go to datetime option (Control Panel), click ok although it
already in GMT+08:00. datetime.now() return the system time.eg: 0100

Question:
1. How can i get the correct datetime without click the ok button on
datetime option?
2. How can i refresh the timezone to get the correct time (in coding)?

Thanks for help.

Regard
Alvin

Here is the registry file code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time]
"TimeZoneInformation"=hex:\
20,fe,ff,ff,4d,00,61,00,6c,00,61,00,79,00,20,00,50,00,65,00,6e,
00,69,00,6e,\
00,73,00,75,00,6c,00,61,00,20,00,53,00,74,00,61,00,6e,

What is a time.reg file? If it's something parsed at boot by your specific
hardware, it sounds like the platform is not doing it right. Is your CF app
launched at boot, or afterward? Last I tested (admittedly back with CF 1.0)
the CF loads timezone info at load and it never looks again.
