I haven't tried a program like that.  But I would recommend that you try 
setting the time manually, either from the command prompt or with the 
date/time picker on the taskbar.  I would check it against WWV as heard from 
your QTH.  You could, for example, go to the command prompt and type in 
21:02:00 and press Enter when that time tone was sent by WWV or CHU.  I 
don't think that 15 seconds will really hurt anything, but a minute or more 
would be a concern.

Subject: Question On Ensuring Time Clock Accuracy Of Logging Computer

Hi, everyone.



The coordinator for our secondW1AW/8 Michigan operation this October is
requesting that we all install a time clock accuracy checking program on our
logging computers.



He recommends the time clock checker at the following link:



http://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm



I checked the time on both my main windows 7 home PC, and my Windows XP
logging laptop against my Reizen talking atomic watch, and the clocks on
both computers seem only to be about 10 or 15 seconds off.



So, I'm actually tempted to keep things as they are, in line with the
principle "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!".



Nevertheless, I am curious if anyone has tried the time clock accuracy
checker at the above link, and if so, how easy was it to install and
configure.



Alternatively, has anyone found another computer time clock checking program
to work well, and to be easy to install or configure?



Just curious.
