| | Time Service more often Vista time service is only every 24 hours which allows my clock to lose time. I want split second accuracy for radio purposes. How can I get it to check every 15 minutes. Dimension 4 was the answer with XP but alas Vista blocks it from changing the time! |

| | RE: Time Service more often Hi, To change the interval between time updates you need to amend a value in the registry. Browse to the following key and then add/or amend the following item. Note that this is the interval between time checks in seconds, expressed as a dword value. Use the calculator to work out the value you require. Please note that the first value given in this example is for 24 hours and this is usually sufficient. The second example for 12 hours should also work, but I haven't tried this. The third example is for 15 minutes, but this has not been tried and I don't know whether or not this will work - you will have to try it to find out. Dwarf HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient "SpecialPollInterval"=dword:00015180 (24 hours) "SpecialPollInterval"=dword:0000A8C0 (12 hours) "SpecialPollInterval"=dword:00000384 (15 minutes) "w0mn00@xxxxxx" wrote: Quote: > Vista time service is only every 24 hours which allows my clock to > lose time.

Pretending that a contemporary processor cannot keep time once the clock is accurately set, seems a bit illogical to me. Set the clock one time and then remove any external source. IMHO, the external source is extremely dangerous. If they are ever intentionally or accidentally altered, the results can vary from web sites that refuse to allow log ons, to software that may cease to allow it's web interfaces to operate properly. Check your clock manually every qurter or so, then disconnect from the external reference. JMHO, DM |
