Configuring for Auto Startup

ClockWatch can be operated in an unattended mode from the Windows 95 or NT System tray. To enable auto startup, check the Startup Automatically option under the Display tab on the Options screen. By checking this option, ClockWatch automatically loads and operates in whichever mode it was last configured and then runs in the background. The ClockWatch Pro icon will be available in the System Tray after ClockWatch Pro is loaded. This option is not available in trial versions.

Once ClockWatch has been installed in the System Tray:

Restore user screen by clicking the left mouse button on the ClockWatch icon.
Set the clock by double clicking the right mouse button on the ClockWatch icon.
The ClockWatch icon in the System Tray will show setting progress by changing the color of the outer ring:

Usage Notes:

On Windows 95/98 machines ClockWatch Pro starts on system boot-up.

On Windows NT machines ClockWatch Pro is started when the local user logs in to Windows NT.

Windows NT users should consider using the ClockWatch Service, available as part of ClockWatch Server.

Opening the Timeserver test form shows the current server settings in ClockWatch, which includes the server, protocol and port number used to communicate with the timeserver. The current settings are used to set the initial test conditions. Pressing the test button will verify that the communication can be established with the current settings.

Troubleshooting Connection Problems

If a problem occurs where time setting does not work with a certain timeserver, then the tests can be used to communicate with the timeserver in a variety of common ways, as well as diagnose problems with communicating over the LAN network or through a proxy server. See the Timeserver troubleshooter
