What are the Power Options settings in Vista? Can you try creating a custom power profile which prevents processor power management (in Vista, every default power profile - even the "High Performance" profile - seems to use processor frequency scaling.) If things work fine with processor frequency scaling turned off, that would be an interesting. Besides processor power managmeent, the power management options for the Indexing service as well as the multimedia power options could potentially affect ntpd, I suppose. (The former because of lost interrupts, and I know the Meinberg build uses multimedia timers on windows). _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
