Time info from MSs Website

I have some kind of *time* error. Can someone explain the infor mation from
the MS website in plain English? For example:

What desires source? How would we know what the source is? Ping what and
where? What is a manually configured peer? How do I find port 23 or any
port? What do we monitor to find this synchronization? Does MS actually
think anyone but a experienced technician would understand this information?
:*(

"User Action
To ensure that the system can connect to the source, do one or more of the
following:
Verify that the local computer is capable of contacting the desired source.
In most cases, a simple connectivity test such as "ping" is adequate.
Confirm that Windows Time Service (or other NTP Time Service) is running and
available on the source system.
If you are using a manually configured peer, such as time.windows.com,
verify that the name is typed correctly and that the system is available.
Confirm that there are no network devices that block traffic on port 123
between the local computer and the time source.
W32time 29 is not a critical message when logged occasionally. It indicates
that the system is unable to synchronize, which can present a problem if the
condition persists. Always monitor the system after this message appears to
ensure that synchronization resumes successfully.

Why don't *you* explain the problem you're having, so someone here might
have a chance of helping you to solve it?

=================================
When I did a CheckDisk/fix errors, and finally looked to see what it found
(eventvwr.msc /s). I recently learned how to find this window. This error
came up constantly in that window. It says it can cause a problem if
constant (see above). So I clicked for "more help" which took me to a MS
page. Could this be the reason my PC will not stay in stand-by mode and the
monitor keeps waking up if I have it set to shut off after 15 minutes of
non-use (monitor power)? "Something" wakes up the monitor constantly.
Then it shuts off again, only to wake up again - over an over endlessly
using standby *or* monitor-power.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the W32Time service. That service is
for synchronizing system clocks in a network environment so that they are
all within a few thousandths of a second of each other. The reason such
synchronization is necessary is twofold: a.) the authentication scheme used
to access network resources in Active Directory, Kerberos, is only valid for
a very short period of time; and b.) some very sophisticated, time-sensitive
applications (e.g. a bank ATM) need accurate time settings. For a home user
it is almost *never* necessary - you can turn off the W32Time service if you
don't want your event log clogged up with these messages.

I think your monitor problem has to do with some combination of the Power
Settings in Windows and the Power Settings in your system BIOS. As a general
rule, turn *off* the power settings in your system BIOS and let Windows
manage it. they are only in the BIOS for Operating Systems that don't have
APM (Advanced Power Management) capabilities.

## How and WHERE is the W32Time service shut off?

## How is that done? HP owners don't get mother board manuals (or any
manuals) how and where would I find the BIOS to turn off the APM managment.
There is nothing in the MS helpfiles or my XP book on this subject.

From Belarc: Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 'P4SD-LA' Rev 1.xx
Serial Number: X312345678
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 3.11 07/18/2003

Googling American Megatrends brings up commercial pages with no information
on how to access the BIOS and make changes there. Other pages did not
cover it either. Where do I find this information? When my PC boots a
window goes flashing by too quickly to read. Someone said I can get to the
BIOS that way. But it lasts less than a second and cannot be read. What
other way is the BIOS accessed?

A trip to the HP website keeps taking me to "security" issues when I search
for BIOS. Nothing about accessing the BIOS and making changes there. The
Forum didn't seem to cover this particular mother board.

You go to saus web site and download the manual moron.
======================
I've already been there MORON, and there was no manual for my P4SD-LA that I
could find MORON. Now be a good MORON and use your killfile so I don't have
to put up with your hateful nastiness and arrogance!
