I'm working on NTP and have no idea what's happening. The description says
it takes over the PC clock, excluding other apps.

It doesn't make sense to have more than one program trying to adjust the
clock.  They will just confuse each other.

I think what that is trying to tell you is to disable any other clock-setting
programs that may be running.  There is probably something in the system that
does that.  I don't know anything about Windows so I can't tell you how to
disable it.  But keep your eye open for something like that.

I think Meinberg used to provide a package that installed NTP and did all the
right stuff to set it up.
