Best Free Time Correction Utility

A lot of folks have difficulty getting time correction software to work on their PC. If that's you, then you should try Dimension 4, which gives you the choice of connecting to a time server either by standard TCP protocol or by the more common (and more problem-prone) SNTP protocol.

If you haven't yet got a time correction utility, this is the one. It''s easy to use, and has every function that you could conceivably want. Because it works from both the command line and Windows, it's ideal for batch files, too.

TimeSync gets the current time from a NIST server, and adjusts the PC clock if necessary. Accuracy is usually within a second. Time and date are displayed according to the user's regional settings.

TimeSync will try alternative servers, in case the time cannot be obtained from the preferred server.

Option /auto is provided to run TimeSync from the StartUp folder. In this mode the TimeSync window will not show if the clock offset is under a given minimum.

Excellent! from Horst Schaeffer's windows freeware:

W32Time has been an integrated service since Microsoft Windows 2000. It can be more completely configured via the registry.
