I use the Nistime clock from this page.

Get the top one on the right. Doesn't install, ready to go when downloaded. You can run it manually or set it to sync with a user chosen number of hours between syncs.

Just pick your time server, save your config from the file menu and you're set.

I like sysmetrix myself... free, gives you a nice clock, can also monitor drive space, motherboard temps, email, or pretty much anything you want.

I use Chronograph at www.altrixsoft.com - a very unobtrusive free (the lite version) program.

Hi:

I tried Sysmetrix and was impressed with all the different things this program could do besides just keeping your PC system clock accurate. I started configuring the program when I noticed my PC was starting to respond slower. I didn't think too much about that until a window popped up warning me my system resources were at a very dangerous low level. I opened my system resource meter and was shocked to see my available system resources at 3%. I then proceeded to close sysmetrix and then went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled Sysmetrix and rebooted my system.

I use Windows ME and low system resources have never been a problem. When I startup my system, the available system resources are always in the 89-92% range. And while running different programs it always stays in the 70-80% range. It appears Sysmetrix is a MAJOR resource hog for Windows ME.

I went back to using the Atomic Clock Sync program. This doesn't have all the bells and whistles that Sysmetrix has but is very good at what it was designed for and keeps my system clock running accurately.

Thanks EVER so much to those that replied to my request. I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier but I wasn't aware that email notices were not being sent out temporarily.
I have chosen to go with the program suggested by Gary 16735. It seems to fit my requirements and works GREAT, Problem solved. Thanks Gary ..........Dave
