This is getting annoying. I like Vista but the time is slow!!!! I have to change it like every day. It's so annoying. Has anyone else have this problem or know a solution to it?

yep i had this problem too i got over it by just changing the time server.
right click on clock and choose> adjust date and time choose the tab "Internet time" and click on change settings now make sure the radio button "Synchronize with internet time server" is checked. CLick on update now. by default the time server is time.windows.com if this server does not work for you toggle down to scroll another server and select it and click on update now. here is a list of other time servers if you want to add it time-a.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov time-a.nist.gov time-b.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov if your clock is still out of sync the you better do this click on start menu and in the search box , type "regedit.exe" with any quotes and open it alternatively you could right click in start menu>properties>start menu>customize> check the box that says display RUN and click ok and exit and then open run and type regedit on the dialog box and hit ok once you got regedit open you need to navigate to this folder or key using the + sign to expand the hive/tree/subfolders HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services w32time TimeProviders NtpClient now once you have highlighted NtpClient , check the screen on the right hand side for an entry "SpecialPollInterval" double click on "SpecialPollInterval" , a small window will pop up , make sure decimal is selected, now change the value from 604800 to 86400 and click on ok and restart your computer this would update your time every day with the windows server automatically. ps somewhere i read that AV also cause some prob sepcially Mcafee, make sure the firewall port 123 UDP is open so that windows can access the Time server. |
