What can I do with that such events ??

I did see this article http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832936 but the
resolution is not relevant because I'm XP SP2 with all recommended update
!!!

===========================================================================================================
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W32Time
Event Category: None
Event ID: 36
Date: 5/14/2006
Time: 10:52:56 PM
User: N/A
Computer: BOAZ-202ILHWJ43
Description:
The time service has not been able to synchronize the system time for 49152
seconds because none of the time providers has been able to provide a usable
time stamp. The system clock is unsynchronized.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

The best course of action would be to try another NTP server.

If the two that Windows provides by default don't help, try some from here
http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

If you continue to get that error, you might want to re-register the W32Time
service.
Do so with the following instructions.

1. Start->Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm /unregister [ignore error message]
4. w32tm /unregister
5. w32tm /register
6. net start w32time

Hope this helps.

BoazBoaz,

Double-click the clock > select the 'Internet Time' tab. Swith the server by
using the drop menu, click 'Update Now'. Try both servers. You may receive
an error, try again. Still receiving the warning? By the way, this is not
unusual.

'Update Now' is working fine !!!

You may periodically receive this warning. I wouldn't worry too much about.
I believe the computer's internal clock still displays the correct time
until the servers finally synchronize.

Hi Jason,

Once in a while I have noticed the same message in Event Viewer that
BoazBoaz posted, although I guess that eventually my time _does_ get
synchronized.

However, just now when you suggested that he pick a different server from
the drop-down list, I see that I have only one Windows default server --
time.windows.com.

But, I do have 6 or 7 *.gov servers listed. I'm guessing that at some time
or another, I visited a site that added these automatically. Or would there
be some other way that they could have ended up in the Internet time
drop-down list?

Alan
