Time Service not running

[crazytim77]

I am trying to sync my clock, and have been trying these different solutions for around 3 hours with no luck:-

• Disabling Firewall
• trying different time servers
• waiting until another day
• rebooting computer
• unregistering service via CMD - says access not permitted or something

I have noticed that Windows Time is not running in the services list. Is this the problem? How do I fix this?

Cheers

Export this Registry Key For Me

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time

Folder has two entries:
default - REB_SZ - (Value not set)
Start - REG_DWORD - 0x00000002(2)

Just incase you have trouble opening the rar file just do the following

Open the time to internet time and copy and paste the following into the server box after server box is highlithted

tick.usno.navy.mil

then press apply and then press update now..

it should work like a ewel

thanks for that - where should I paste it?

By the way I already tried the tick.usno.navy.mil server - doesn't work....

Paste it Right Here .. so that we can have a look

I am now getting a different error message:

An error occurred getting the status of the last synchronization. Element not found.

tried three different time servers and it says the same on all of them.

However Windows Time is not in services list and says "started" next to it.

Any other suggestions would be great.

However Windows Time is not in services list and says "started" next to it.

Windows Time is not in the List .. then How Does it say Started

 

[crazytim77]
