    Just on the offchance that you may possibly have a problem with the MS Time server, you could try Karen's 'Time Sync' to sync your computer clock. It's free.

    http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptsync.asp

    Go to 'Manual Sync' tab.
    Choose a time server in your country from the dozens shown worldwide - I use United Kingdom/ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk (Manchester University). Not ALL time servers support ALL the 3 protocols.
    Leave the three Protocol boxes ticked.
    Click the 'SNTP Protocol' button, - and you'll see how far off your clock is.
    If you want to set it, just untick the 'Test only' button and press SNTP again. Your clock will reset to the correct second or fraction thereof. Press again to check.

    I stick to doing a manual sync as you would have to leave the program running to use it on 'Auto' and I don't need that.

    EDIT

    Just moved the "Go to 'Manual Sync' tab" line to the top line.


    p.s. If you want a little program to backup 'Anything' to 'Anywhere' Karen's Replicator is on the same site and does the job pretty well, without leaving 'fingerprints.'
    (Also useful for merging two folders, with differences, together.)
