Fix for Dimension 4 software when using Windows XP. This may also apply to Windows 2000 and Windows NT not sure. If you run Windows XP you will find that Dimension 4 PC automatic time sync will no longer work. It has a conflict with the SNTP ucb port that windows XP uses for it's once a week time sync. The once a week time sync feature is in control panel/date time. Anyway here is how you turn the windows XP time sync off so Dimension 4 will work normally. THE FIX 1. Go to Control Panel/Date and Time/Internet Time tab. Be sure "automatically synchronize with an internet time server" is NOT checked NEXT 2. Go To Control Panel/Admin Tools/Services 3. In services pick WINDOWS TIME . Right click for properties. STARTUP TYPE change to DISABLE. Then click SERVICE STATUS = STOP. "NEXT click OK" Thats it! Note - Good idea to then re-boot PC and double check that the changes you made actually were saved correctly FYI: This is the exe that would run normally for windows XP time sync. C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs You can reverse the process anytime if you like. Of course if you do Dimension 4 won't work again.
