everyone again. But I can't seem to sych with every program I
could find. It may be my processor but I don't think so. Running

Any help would be appreciated

Hi Dave,
first thing you should do is uninstall all time sync applications
you have tried, this is important as they will interfere with each
other. Then restart Windows (note *not* shutdown and reboot) as I
know for sure that Dimension4 for one is not fully removed until a
restart.
Once the decks are cleared install the Meinberg NTP Client
application. In the installer pick a pool near to your location
and also take the default of using the SYSTEM account for the
service. That should be all you need to do. Use the "Quick NTP
Status" tool that you will find on your start menu to check if the
NTP client is synchronizing with one of the pool servers. You
should see a '*' character in the left most column of one of the
server lines after a couple of minutes, that indicates a suitable
server has been picked for synchronization.
This is what the Quick NTP Status shows for me:

Note that I have a local stratum 0 GPS synchronized NTP server so
that is what the NTP client has synchronized to as it is by far
the most accurate time source I have. The server lines starting
with '+' are standby servers that are selected and those with a
'-' are rejected as being less accurate due to higher jitter or
are time offset outliers.
