windows clock - time server cannot synchronize? please give list of servers?

Question

for some reason my clock (windows) cannot synchronize to the correct time .

when i press "update now" i get a message saying-

an error occured whilst windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com



how can i resolve this problem

i have tried turning my comodo firewall off ,

and i have tried manually changing the time (but when i turn the computer back on the time has randomly changed)

i have even tried different servers - time.nist.gov

i have tried atomic alarm clock which worked (i found a working timezone) but the trial expired.

please can you give me a lift of time servers to try out? (for England, london)

thanks in advance
