I'd like to have a program that goes out and gets the exact time from
WWV, or someplace just as accurate, then it will synchronize my PC,
but I'd rather not pay thousands of dollars for it. I'd have to go
without electricity, and water for a year or so if I did that.

VOA Rocks!! The worlds shortwave king.

When can you hear it by the way?

"Best" is a hard qualifier to meet ... however, this one:
http://www.irnis.net/soft/aclock/
will work for windows 90 thru XP ...

Here is one vista capable:
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock/

These are readily available freeware, you should never have to purchase
one ... a Google search will provide you with many more. Why not try a
few before deciding which one you wish to keep?

On XP (and before), and, with the changed date of time switching
(daylight hours ... ) there is fix available ... you simply need to
download it ... again, Google is your friend.

I forgot to mention that I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit

The vista Capable one "worldtimeserver" doesn't work. It says
"
"The following error occurred: The specified module could not be
found. (0x8007007E)"

Dimension 4...freeware, works fine, lasts a long time. (just not sure if
it works with that (IMHO) POS Vista).

http://www.thinkman.com/dimension4/

It is yet another NTP (network time proctol) program. NTP requires and Internet
connection and Windows XP and later include one.

The Windows version supports synchronizing your clock, but not keeping clocks
in sync. It's fine for keeping your clock correct, but you need a better NTP
client if you have a need to keep many computers clocks within 10ms or less of
each other.

This may not fit the OP's requirment. I think he wanted a way of decoding
WWV's 60kHz signal, not something that runs over the Internet.

There are readily available devices for doing that, but they use GPS,
not WWV.

Since I replaced windows sucky time sync with a decent one, I assumed he
didn't want vista managing time updates ... made perfect sense to me.

I suspect not, he didn't mention anything about hardware ...

If the OP had to go without food and water for a year and post here in
a shortwave newsgroup I do not beleive he has any critical time
sensitive networked computers that must be accurately timed to within
milliseconds - LOL!

He's a silly shortwave listener who thinks his reception logs must be
accurate to within 30 seconds - LOL.

True! True!

Anyway I like Dimension 4 and one called Breitling, and a third one
named Advanced Time synchronizer.

I've been running D4 for nearly 24 hours now though.

Thanks for the assistance.
