Is anyone else’s time messed up on the internet time check.. for your OS clock. No mater what server I try it says an error occurred or cannot update. I have talked to many others who are getting the same issue. Does anyone know what is going on?? Or a workaround??

you're not alone, mine has done that for awhile now and I know it is not my firewall or AV stopping it, as I turned them off while trying to update.
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Try this timeserver:
fartein.ifi.uio.no
The other usual ones I contact failed for some reason
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

A result of early daylight saving time... not a major issue. Fix your clock manually in the meantime. wait for a fix

Same problem here (UK)
Mine says "Windows has never attempted to synchronize with a Time Server" - it always did until a few weeks ago!
Have tried several different Time Servers but none work - says I need an Internet Connection - I'm on a BroadBand Connection!
Did try w32tm /unregister and w32tm / register at the Command Prompt but that didn't help
I've turned it off now

Look here.
See response Number 12. Use MelodyTime method, which is different from my response number 3.
I use servers that are listed in my response.
Google for more time servers closer to your location the better. In my case found two in Alberta, Canada where I live.

thanks guys i went and loaded some new servers and now it updates . what i dont get is that this was a known issue.meaning the early DST and yet its still hosed up. nice planning LOl. but i have a new server added so it updates now. thanks again.

trk, thanks a million, that worked just fine!
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Thanks for posting back and that our advice helped. Everyone is wondering why the original servers don't work. As I mentioned in the link I give you, they worked fine the following two weeks after DST kicked in. Come on Microsoft April Fool's Day is over!!
