I have a new Dell E521 and Vista Home Premium. I experience the exact problem. I found running this on the command prompt will resync the time. But it will unsync again though. ![]()
net stop w32time
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /unregister
w32tm /register
reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\w32time\parameters\ /v NtpServer /t reg_sz /d time.nist.gov /f
net start w32time
w32tm /resync
All ... I've got a new Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Vista Home Premium. The function that enables automatic time/date synchronization from the popular time servers simply reports an error; there's no message number nor any further info. Thinking there's something wrong with the servers offered in the list, I tried a few of the Naval Observatory's servers too, but I get the same error.
Dell is stumped thus far and I've noticed others reporting this problem on Microsoft's discussion groups, but there's no fix mentioned yet.
Has anyone else seen this problem on Vista and/or a Dell E521? Anyone know the fix? Thanks!
