Can anyone help?

Hi golfdesigner -

Welcome to the Tech Support Forum - Vista Support!

I suggest that you download a fresh copy of Atomic Clock Sync v3.0 from HERE to your desktop. Then right-click on the icon; select Run As Administrator and try the install again.

Prior to the installation attempt again, be sure that the following is adhered to per the IMPORTANT NOTE area of Atomic Clock Sync 3.0:

If the dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) changed recently in your area, you must update your operating system with the new rules. Microsoft releases patches when necessary for newer versions of Windows, but with older versions, you may have to update the registry yourself or find a third-party tool to do it.

No patch would be needed as it is apparently compatible with Vista x86 (32-bit) systems - but not Vista x64 (64-bit system). Ar you running a 32-but Vista system?

Good Luck to you.
