Folks, It seems that since on my PCs I have had the MM timer set to its fastest 1ms resolution, the poor timekeeping which I had recently seen on my Windows XP Pro PC has stopped and, as additional benefit, the timekeeping on my Windows 2000 PC has also dramatically improved.
Windows XP: http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/mrtg/odin_ntp.html Windows 2000: http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/mrtg/stamsund_ntp.html This change has been running for the last week or so, on the XP system via a program I wrote which runs continuously, and on the Windows 2000 system first by my own program, and secondly via a modified NTP. I haven't made detailed measurements, but have been advised that the jitter may not be as good in this mode, but the complete removal of the timing transients previously seen more than makes up for this. I do hope that the NTP with this capability soon becomes generally available. Many thanks to those who helped.
