Otherwise if another programs ist run which modifies the Windows Multimedia Timer you will observe time steps like this. Unfortunately you don't write which exact version you have installed. There have been quite a few version each of which started with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Both NTP versions which are currently available on our download page at http://www.meinberg.de/english/sw/ntp.htm#ntp_nt support the -M option and use it by default. Another possible reason would be another program which is run once per day and either tweaks the system time, or runs a task which lets the Windows clock loose a timer tick (which is about 16 milliseconds). We've had a customer where the Windows system time had lost 30 seconds (!) every night when his database application ran some maintenance tasks.
