OK, to be clear. Comparing on my own system, Zone Alarm has the following registry entry: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vsmon\ImagePath: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe -service where the executable is shown with a parameter "-service". However, looking with the Services applet there is /no/parameter shown for vsmon.exe, but the "Path to executable" is shown as: "....\vsmon.exe -service". At the moment, the path for NTP is shown as: C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntpd.exe whereas if I wish to include the new -M parameter, I would need to alter the path to: C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntpd.exe -M A simple "yes" is I hope all the answer I need! By the way, it's still looking good - we've burnt CDs, printed documents, scanned, etc. etc. all with the MM timer set to 1ms resolution.
