System clock will not sync.


Recommended Posts

My system clock is an hour behind and when I attempt to manually adjust the

time and tell it to update, I get the following error message, "An error

occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.nist.gov" or any of the

other time servers, why? And, why doesn't my system keep the time current

when I manually change the time? It continues to reset back to an hour

behind.

The time servers aren't working properly.

I got a freeware program called 'Atomic Clock Sync' and copied the URL for

one of its servers into my registry

Add 132.163.4.102 as a new line to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/DateTime/Servers

it will then appear in the pull-down menu for Internet Time.

Mike,

This is great! I had installed Atomic Clock Sync a few years ago on all my

pc's because the Windows Time Sync would never work, but I always had to run

it as a program. BTW - I also replaced the normal desktop clock with

TClockEx from http://users.iafrica.com/d/da/dalen.

Re: System clock will not sync.

 

But, why doesn't my system clock keep the modified setting when I manually

reset it, why does it continue to reset back to previous hour lag?

Re: System clock will not sync.

 

Maybe it has something to do with Daylight Savings Time?

Control Panel | Date & Time | Time Zone Tab | Check the box for DST

Maybe the reset issue is related to Daylight Savings Time?

Re: System clock will not sync.

 

I am still plagued with my system clock remaining an hour behind and can not

get it to hold the true correct time no matter what I do. How can I correct

this. If I adjust the time, it will reset back to an hour behind... I've

changed the daylight savings time to standard time, changed my location to

other than Central Time Zone and it will reset back to Central time... I'm

really getting annoyed with it now...
