System Error Event ID 17 and 29

[Milwnewbie]

I recently (for past month ) have been seeing many event errors ID 17 and 29
WIN32 Time entries in my System Event list. What is causing this and how do
I resolve? I do not see any adverse preformance issues on the computer at
this time but just worried something is indeed wrong.

Haven't really made any changes on the system lately either that I can think
of.

Using WIN XP Home sp 2. Have both IE 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 on
the computer. Use Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite. Everything updated
frequently.

Not sure what I should be looking for or where or how. Thanks for any help.

Had a few of them myself, eventually the time sychronized. Perhaps I wasn't connected to
the internet at the time Windows tried to sychronize the time.
Don't worry about.

There is also a list of time servers in ntp.org.

For anyone with a little time and relevant experience, there are pools of
time servers and the description of them includes instructions for using
time server pools with Windows. I know nothtng more than what I read in the
site. So see:

http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

If anyone concludes that that works only for Unix/Linux then they have not
looked enough.
