Windows, of course. You didn't say, but from the description I'm
guessing that you are running it from Windows 9X. If so, it's a known
problem for which no real cure is known: `uclock' reprograms the
system timer, but Windows resists this.
One possible solution is to add this line in the [386Enh] section of
your SYSTEM.INI file:
TrapTimerPorts=OFF
After adding this line, reboot and see if it helps. In any case,
please tell here if this setting has any effect on the behavior of
`uclock'.
