Several people have been hacking away on this computer we are testing
on, so I'm not sure what settings -- other than all of them -- have
been messed with, but popen("time ...") seems to work, but system("time
...") does not. I'm going to restore the machine to its original state
and see what happens.

If memory serves, you need to enable a specific privilege to
set the time in Vista+. Just a moment...
Have a look here:

and look for SeSystemtimePrivilege generally. Sorry; I'm
a bit rushed at the moment. Feel free to post back if
that isn't clear

Permissions!
We're running in an account as an administrator (the only account on the
laptops) and the program just calls system(time xxxx) and system(date
xxxx) after reading it from a connected GPS receiver. I've fiddled with
everything I could find in the registry and with the secpol.msc program
and there doesn't seem to be any reason that it can't set the time, but
it can't. Any ideas?
Thanks!
