Hi Ken, Thanks for getting back to me. Those were not the exact commands you
sent me yesterday, they were missing the .exe.

When you type a command, the .exe is always optional. It doesn't
matter whether it's there or not, since it's understood if it's
missing. For example, typing notepad and notepad.exe produce the same
result.


However, when I type
w32tm.exe /unregister I receive the following error message: Access is
denied, <0x80070005> Thanks for your continued help.

What causes the clock on my computer to run fast. I have to constantly

It doesn't matter how wrong it is - if it's wrong, it's wrong.

It certainly *does* matter. No computer clock is perfect, and they all
vary by some, usually small, amount. That's why software periodically
synchronizes it to an external clock.

The point of my asking how wrong it was to determine whether the error
falls within the expected range of errors or whether it was larger and
therefore indicative of a problem.

His was larger, and therefore clearly indicative of a problem.


Here are the command to reregister the time service - maybe you had a
typo:

1. Start, Run cmd.exe
2. net stop w32time
3. w32tm.exe /unregister
4. w32tm.exe /register
5. net start w32time

If that does not run without error, you have another problem.


And those are the same commands I posted earlier. Why did you repost
them?

If they didn't work, he very likely had a typo.

Maybe this will free it up:
