VirtualBox - System Time Clock

I'm trying to savestate my session in the Virtualbox (Win XP Home) and would like the system clock inside the Virtualbox to always restart at the time and date I saved when I closed it down from the last time I used it.

Is there a way to have the virtualbox system time start from where you left off?

Cheers
Martin

Not that I am aware of. You are wanting a timer and trying to use the system clock.

Wanting to use the Virtual System clock so I can tell how long I have been on the virtual system.
I would set up Virtual Systems and run my project in there so at the end using the system clock I'll know how long I've been on each project.

I really don't want to run sill timers or anything like that, just would be nice if this virtual server would start back at the time and date I shut it down.

Not possible, there are however programs out there that do this for you.

Job done,

Just used a batchfile in the Virtualbox Manager to turn of the clock sync. Sorted and working just how I wanted it.

Hi Westys

Would you mind sharing the batch file?

Thx!
