Check that W32time isn't showing in the process list (with "Show processes 
from all users" set).  I asked what NTP had logged in the event viewer. 
Also: what is in the drift file (in NTP's "etc" directory).  If it's a 
number near 500 (either positive or negative) that may indicate that the 
clock on your PC is rather too far off correct for NTP to be able to 
correct it (more than 500 parts per million away).

Cheers,
