Qt documentation about QTime::currentTime() says :

Note that the accuracy depends on the accuracy of the underlying operating system; not all systems provide 1-millisecond accuracy.

But is there any way to get this time with milliseconds accuracy in windows 7?

You can use QDateTime class and convert the current time with the appropriate format:

QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss,zzz")

where 'z' corresponds to miliseconds accuracy.
