Installation
You need some sort of 32-bit Windows, like Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP or whatever you got. You also need enough space (which is very little) on your hard disk to install the software.
In order to run this program, you also should have the Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Runtime files installed.
Note: This downloadable package includes the Visual Basic Runtime files. In case you have trouble with installing these, you can download the Visual Basic 6.0 SP5: Run-Time Redistribution Pack (vbrun60sp5.exe) from Microsoft Download Center or search for it in Microsoft Download Center, All of Microsoft or Google. Ensure that you have the runtime files properly installed before you run this program.
You should also have IE 4+ to load the HTML help on the Help window. This however doesn't matter to the functioning of the other parts of the application.
Uninstallation
To uninstall myWorldTime:
Step 1: Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. In some Windows versions, you may have to go to Start > Control Panel.
Step 2: Select myWorldTime in the Add or Remove Programs window and click on "Remove".
Step 3: If the uninstaller reports that not all files in the installation directory could be removed, then delete the folder in which myWorldTime was installed (usually inside C:\Program Files).
Running myWorldTime
Start the program from the Windows Start Menu -> Programs. You should see the myWorldTime main window appearing on your screen. This is the main screen - fully intuitive and easy to use.
Usage
Using this program is easy and simple. On the My Location drop-down box select your location.
The Local box will display your local time. This time is same as your Windows time.
Below, in the My World Zones section, double-click on each item to select time zones you want to view.
The frequency at which the application's clock ticks can be set by clicking on the "Refresh Interval" button.
There is also a tiny calendar bundled that you access by clicking on the Calendar button.
Refresh Rate
The rate at which the time display refreshes can be set from the Time Refresh Interval window. The clock is set to tick every 1 second by default.
You can optionally set the refresh rate to any value of seconds. For instance, changing it to 5 will make the program refresh the time display every 5 seconds.
Increasing this interval surely reduces processing overhead consumed by this program.
To change the Refresh Rate, click on Refresh Interval on the main window. The "Time Refresh Interval" dialog appears where you can set the interval in seconds which the program must use to refresh the main time display.
Load with Windows
If you want the program to load automatically when you start Windows, just create a shortcut to the program and place it in the Startup folder in Start Menu->Programs menu.
If your Windows is installed in "C:\WINDOWS" then the Startup folder would generally be "C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp".
If you are using Windows 2k+ or XP you will find the "Startup" folder at a location like C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or C:\Documents and Settings\<user-name>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
