Are we EVER going to get a fix for this? We have an application that relies on monotonically increasing timestamps and we're dead in the water with Parallels. Please give this some priority. We OS/2 users are a patient bunch, but really -- hasn't there been enough time to get to this one?
Make sure that you report it as a problem, get a problem ID and post the ID here. There is a simple way to do so, when the VM with OS/2 is running, in the Menu Parallels - Help. See also my last reply on http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=31631 Not to repeat myself here too much, but after waiting more than 5 months, the last update did nothing for me. My problem ID 27467 !
Yup, still stuck Clock. One suggestion, which requires a bit of testing: install time868 and set it to poll time every 5min. this will help. But I had hard time finding a server from the list, that worked. For some reason it did not work with the ntpd from Mac OS X, but I think it should have.

Done with Parallels Well, Parallels Desktop 4.0, the only version I have access to, will never see the "stuck clock" fix. According to Parallel support:
I can report that VirtualBox on Mac has no stuck clock issue. Highly recommended over Parallels for OS/2 users. Did I mention it's free? Unlike the upgrade from Parallels 4 to Parallels 5? I have found a new VM and it works for me.
