My Notepad W7 DELL420 clock was slowly drifting out of sync second by second and WSPR 50MHz did not decode anymore.
I use Symmtime, this program reported to synchronise the PC clock to the selected timeserver at the given interval 15minutes. But I was running 6 seconds behind. forcing synchronise did not chance the PC clock.
I had windows internet time unchecked because Symmtime or Dimension 4 would take over that job?? Both did not!
Dimension 4 did even report the how much the PC clock was adjusted + or - seconds nice. But In real nothing was adjusted.
Must have something to do with access right again.
I did install not in the restricted programs directory but in my own
C:\ham\ and as administrator did not seem to cure it.
I did re-check Windows: synchronise with an internet time server again. Clicked sync now and instantly the PC clock was adjusted.
Then I modified the default time update interval of the Windows clock to 1000sec (decimal) and removed the SymmTime and Dimension4.
To de-install Symmtime first rightclick the Symmtime Icon on the taskbar right bottom screen select exit.
Then the programm can be un-installed over the Config Programs
I like Symmtime for XP it is fine but not for W7 it seems.
here is the link that tells you how to do that.
In XP I have no problem Symmtime keeps the clock sychronised.
