The original questioner posted that he tried #SYSTIME and it didn't work.  I 
was suggesting what the most likely cause of failure might be.  In my 
experience, most NT Workstation setups in corporate environments tend to 
allow as limited privileges to users as they can get away with before they 
are actually unable to function in their jobs.
I know an entire programming department which revolted and installed NT 
Workstation on their own, refusing to give the network people the local admin 
passwords.  The programmers were sustained in their argument that they could 
not function as programmers when they were being treated like file clerks.  
This sort of turf war is all too common in large companies.
