Clock synchronization

My clock will not synchronize with any internet time option whether manual or
automatic. Minor but annoying problem. After several weeks clock is off by a
few minutes and I manually correct time. Any ideas?

Have you tried changing the time server you are using? time.nist.gov
is very reliable for me...

I have tried ALL time servers available in Vista. I have never encountered
this problem before when using internet time servers for previous computers
but I was then running XP.

This seems a little drastic.

If all else fails I will try this software but it is annoying that Vista (my
copy anyway) can't even supply you with the correct time. Maybe it's time for
a Mac.

Are you sure you don't have some "Security" software such as Norton or
Zone Alarm or similar that pretends to be a "Firewall" and is blocking
the NTP ports?

I'm sorry Jim,

Which part seems drastic to you? I want to make it as simple and easy
as possible.

Did you check all the items in the NOTE in step 10?
