I have no problem here, the guests' (XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, 7...) clock= s=20 are almost as accurate as host's one. The facts you are describing are close to the behavior of Windows clock= =20 while it is being synchronized. Depending on the sign of the difference= =20 between local clock and reference clock, Windows slows down/speeds up=20 its clock by 2. You could have a look at system messages, it can be invoked by a right=20 click on "My Computer" -> "Manage". Time service used to output some=20 message during the synchro. - Florent
