Atomic clock download works fine in XP 32 bit, always has.

Atomic clock in Win 7 64 bit will not sync..........any workarounds?

In the box with XP the clock will sync 50 seconds before the clock in 7.

Surely there must be a way to get the computer clock in 7 64 bit to display the correct time.
 
I just updated mine on Friday - here is what I did

1. change the time server from time.microsoft.com to one of the nist time servers

2. change the following registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
(SpecialPollInterval)

where the value is in seconds, so 3600 is hourly.

The microsoft time server is the biggest culprit; on my systems it's off by at least 15 seconds consistently. Nist is in perfect alignment with IB's server time.
