Calculating Uptime

[Aaron1982]

how do i calculate the uptime in windows millenium?

 

[GFORCE100]

You mean by using GetWindowTicks API call?

If so then 1000ms = how many seconds

result / 1000 = seconds

result / 60 = minutes

result / 60 = hours

result / 24 = days

Is that what you wanted?

 

[Aaron1982]

no i mean how do i see how long my windows me has been up?

 

[GFORCE100]

You can't unless you write/get a program that tells you. It's easy enough to do.

If you don't want to bother with writing a program, just keep a bunch of sticky notes near the computer and write down the time every time you boot up the computer. It's not as accurate as a program to track the uptime, but it will be close enough for most purposes.

Dosnt "system information" tell you how long windows has been on?

 

[GFORCE100]

Guys. No promises but private message me and I will see if I can be bothered to write you a small program. I understand those who need this are running Windows 98 or higher?

SiSoft Sandra 2001 has this information. Open it up and look under 'windows information'.

 

[GFORCE100]

Indeed it has.

Goto www.sisoftware.co.uk

Version 7.33 should be out soon.

Uptime 2000 or just Uptime from here

Uptime2k is for Win2000 ONLY.

 

[GT1999]

I just found another one directly from Microsoft, but it has to be run from a command prompt.

Download it here

norton utilities also can display time up on its system doctor!

I have never tried Millenium and i don´t think i´ll ever do But if it has some similaritis with w2k and if you have a NIC then you can look in the properties of that connection to se the uptime for the NIC that normally should be the same as the system uptime.
