I can't seem to synchronize my windows clock.

If I try to synchronize the time, it just says "an error occurred while windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com" Or whatever server I use. I love how it says "an error occurred." Yeah, that's real detailed. So anyway, any idea why this is happening? I have a bit of an obsession with perfectly accurate time.

Here are some things you can try.

It worked. I guess the server was down. But how can the server be down? What if someone has a time emergency?

This is why they offer multiple servers. All servers shouldn't be down at the same time though. If they are then its just a weird coincidence.
