| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Internet Time Synchronization Hi Clive, You may have typed in the timer server address incorrectly. What is the one you are wanting to add? This does not really matter, but you should click on Update Now instead of OK after you enter the time server to just make sure it works. Shawn |

| Vist Home Premiun 64bit | Re: Internet Time Synchronization Hi Shawn I cannot make any change within the Internet Time Settings applet at all. It makes no difference what server I try. It makes no difference if I click on Update Now or OK. I cannot change the "Synchronize with an Internet Time Server" check box either. In every case I get the "Unable to save your changes" message and have to click Cancel to get back out of the applet. Thanks for your input. Clive |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Internet Time Synchronization Clive, You might run a sfc /scannow command to see if it can find and fix any bad system files. This will show you how to if needed. System Files - SFC Command If that does not help and you have not installed the SP1 yet, then you can try a Repair install. Repair Install For Vista Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vist Home Premiun 64bit | Re: Internet Time Synchronization Shawn SFC found no problems. I have got SP1 installed and as everything else is running well I will, at least in the meantime, adjust time manually and live with it. Many thanks for your prompt and helpful advise it is very much appreciated as are your tutorials on Vista. They are an immensely valuable resource have taught me a lot. Thanks again Clive |

| Vista Home Premium 32-bit & Vista Ultimate 64-bit both Service Pack 2 W7 Pro RTM 7600 32 & 64 | Re: Internet Time Synchronization The default interval between updates is 7 days or 168 hours. This can be modified with the following registry tweak. Open the registry and browse to the following key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient] Right click the following entry and select 'Modify...'. "SpecialPollInterval"=dword:00015180 You can then change this value, which is the interval in seconds, to a more suitable value - the one given above equates to 86400 which is 1 day and is the value that I use. Use the calculator to work out the value. Note that I don't recommend an interval of less than 1 hour (3600 seconds). Dwarf |
