We have a vee 6.03 programe running on a windows 2000 workstation under runtime. It works fine unless the PC system time reaches midnight. At this point, the operation of the vee program slows to the point that it appears to have hung up (it hasn't it is just working very, very slowly). The system remains like this as long as the system time is somewhere within the midnight hour. As soon as the time reaches 1:00am or is set to a time other than the midnight hour, the system recovers performance immediately. I have not yet had opportunity to try this with Vee 6.03 development so don't know if it is limited to runtime.

We have a vee 6.03 programe running on awindows 2000 workstation under runtime. It works fine unless the PCsystem time reaches midnight. At this point, the operation of the veeprogram slows to the point that it appears to have hung up (it hasn't it isjust working very, very slowly). The system remains like this aslong as the system time is somewhere within the midnight hour. As soon asthe time reaches 1:00am or is set to a time other than the midnight hour, thesystem recovers performance immediately. I have not yet had opportunityto try this with Vee 6.03 development so don't know if it is limited toruntime. Also, do not have the resources with me at the moment to try vee7.01 runtime.</span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><spanstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><spanstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The vee program in question is notconstantly checking system time but does have some delays and "oncycles" in it! </span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><spanstyle='font-size:12.0pt'> </span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><spanstyle='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The problem is not limited to thisparticular vee program or this PC.
