I get errors when connecting to time.windows.com from Vista and my server so
I changed both to another source. Both are working okay now.

Open the date and time from Control Panel or r/c the clock in systray and
then click on the Internet Time tab. Click the Advanced button and change
the default source used to one in the list or one of your choice. Click on
Update Now.

I'm in London and I'm using europe.pool.ntp.org. Google will give you plenty
of alternatives.

I just checked and realized that I am having issues also. I have tried all
of the ones listed under the tab and all of them give an error

Same here - tried multiple servers but none of them work. Any ideas?

I have Vista and am having the same problems. I changed my server to
nist.gov and it seemed stable for a long time (I'm on EST), but now its back
to its old routine of arbitrarily resetting itself to the wrong time, always
past.

Has Microsoft worked out a stable solution yet?
