Many thanks for the help! Boy I had to do all of the things listed.
Then the computer sync 'd with the time server BUT when I hit the
update button for a second time the update failed.
Then I tried on my laptop and I received the same message.
An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing......
Thanks
Ron
