John, Donna, Midoli, By setting the non-Unicode program language from non-English to English in the advanced options of the regions and language setting in the control panel of system, I have solved the problem which might be caused by the non-English system. The main reason is exactly as everyone described, which the program cannot write the system time to the spec file correctly. I wish this could be helpful.
