Both the fluxcap version and the xmas version can modify the multimedia
timer, if the -M option is given on the command line. Is this the case in
your environment? You can check this using the service control manager, the
-M option should be listed behind the ntpd.exe path in the properties page.

If the -M option is there and time steps still happen then the time steps
don't seem to be related to the MM timer stuff. There must be another
reason, maybe a bad driver, another piece of software which modifies the
system time, etc.
