I get "an error occurred...blah blah" when I try to synch the PC clock with
either time.windows.com or time.nist.gov. I've even put an exception in McAfee's Firewall Plus 8 System Services for "Network Time Protocol - Port 123". Anyone else finding this problem today? -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP2 x 2 + Vista Ultimate fully updated P4 D865GBFL HT @ 3.0ghz 4.0gb DDR 700gb HD Sapphire Radeon X1650 Pro Graphics Creative Soundblaster Audigy 4 Audio |

Make sure your time and date are correctly set in Windows. In XP if the date
was wrong, you wouldn't even be allowed to get updates and I assume the same will happen with Vista. "Peter" ex-brit AT rogers DOT com wrote in message ...

I'm in Vista at the moment and managed to get it to update after two failed
attempts...strange. My day/date is all correct as is my time zone.

If it happens again, make sure the Windows Time service is running.

I had the same problem.
Ichanged my time to a wrong time(set the clock back 10 minutes) and ran synchronise again. Since then it works correctly "Joe Grover" wrote: If it happens again, make sure the Windows Time service is running. "Peter" wrote in message ...
