Does anyone have a favourite clock synchronisation program that doesn't use a
lot of resources, runs under Windows ME, and preferably allows input of specific
Internet time servers? Scheduling, multiple time zones, etc are not important.
Just a button to hit to synch time, and preferably a way to select specific
servers to synch against.

Not certain on ME Lou, but worth a try. Double click your clock (systray
bottom right) panel comes up, if it`s got Internet settings tab, there you
are.
I say this `cos that`s how it works in XP.
best wishes..OJ

But not in Win 9x systems such as Win Me.

Seeing the suggestions by Shane and old jon, I was kind of surprised
by the size of the programs: 200 and 600 kb... I personally use
"Neutron":

It's small as hell (only 9kb - I'm not kidding) and you can simply
put it in your "Startup" folder, so your clock gets updated
frequently.

InTime can synchronize your system time with an NTP server on the
internet. It has more than a dozen NTP Servers listed, and you can add
your own. It's an easy point and click utility, and works like a charm.

I run the commandline program CMDTIME 3 automatically with the following
syntax. It can be run automatically at startup by invoking a .BAT (or
..CMD) file.

cmdtime3 ntp.cis.strath.ac.uk ntp2c.mcc.ac.uk ntp1.sandvika.net sync
/M:90

It runs and closes, with no overhead.

Yup. I sure do.
If you live in the USA, you've already paid for it.
You download the routine directly from the National Time Service. There
are some times when government does something right; even great.

Go here: http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm.

This does everything you want under Windows Me, runs licketty-split, and
has good manners. It's a much better use of my tax money than paying
forever for a stupid pigheaded war.

Try it; you'll like it.

Thanks Richard.
