I have a couple of questions regarding RPG Maker xp.  The first question is that I've had issues with scripts like the Dynamic Day and Night System.  I'm using Blizz-ABS, and I wanted to use the system, but there was an error(I don't know exactly what the error is b/c I don't have it open).  Once I open it, I will post the exact errors. Now that that has been temporarily take care of, how do I get this SDK everybody has talked about?  Somebody told me that I needed it for some scripts to work.  Basically all I wanted to know is how to make it tell the current time.  I wanted it be like Pokemon, so I can make like time-based events.

NO. Don't get the SDK; it's a terrible, terrible thing and will be much more trouble than it's worth.
I've used the DNS and Blizz-ABS in a project before and never had any problems; exactly what error are you encountering? As for Pokemon-style events, those are usually based on days, not game time, but if use my Calendar event system as a base, you should be able to work out something that works for you.

I'm having issues setting up the clock and having it set for hours and minutes, because I was reading what someone said about it and they said it reads the time of the internal battery on the computer or something like that.

I'm not sure about the RMX-OS plugin, but the standard DNS does not read the time from your computer. It should already be set up for hours and minutes; you set the length of time in seconds in the script's config. You are using ATES, right? Not the older DDNS?
