Guest Robert Bodling Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 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.

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. Regards Mike.
Guest Kingstonsean Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Re: System clock will not sync. 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.

Guest Robert Bodling Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 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?

Guest Kingstonsean Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Re: System clock will not sync. Maybe it has something to do with Daylight Savings Time?

Guest Robert Bodling Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 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...
