There are several things that can cause this issue. Check your security settings in Internet Options (Control Panel)...the Internet Zone should be set no higher than Medium High. Try dropping the setting one level from where it's currently set and see if the time will connect and verify.
Disable the firewall and try to synchronize the time. If you are able to do this, add the site to the "Allowed" sites.
If still no joy, Right click on My Computer and choose "Manage". In the Computer Management window, expand (click +) the Services and Applications category. Click on "Services" and scroll down to "Windows Time". What does this service list for "Status" and "Startup Type"? The Status should be "Started" and the Startup Type should be "Automatic".

Click Start, the Run, type regedit and click "Ok". In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SYSTEM, then CurrentControlSet, then Services, then W32Time, and click on Parameters. In the right pane, what are the values listed for NTPServer and ServiceMain?

ServiceMain: SvchostEntry_W32Time
I manually set the clock to the current time, so it really isn't far off now. But I just want to be able to sync to the real time.

time.windows.com is broken. Really broken. It's over 100 seconds off. The Windows NTP client should refuse to synchronize with it.
time.nist.gov just takes forever to respond. It's probably overloaded.
I would suggest manually changing the time servers in your registry. I used the following on my XP setup.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers
Create the new string values.
0
ntp.nasa.gov
1
time-a.nist.gov
2
time-b.nist.gov
3
nist1-ny.WiTime.net
4
time.twc.weather.com
Some info: Windows Clock Internet Time Sync not
*The .reg fix shown in the above link is not correct.

I don't have Vista installed so I don't know what it will allow or if the paths are the same.
If the registry location is the same as below;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers
Copy & paste the following to Notepad. Click File> Save As...
For the File name: use TimeServers.reg and Save as type: All files. Double click on the reg file then click Yes> OK.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers] @="6" "1"="time.mit.edu " "2"="time-a.nist.gov" "3"="ntp.nasa.gov" "4"="time-nw.nist.gov" "5"="time-b.nist.gov" "6"="nist1-ny.WiTime.net"
Reboot afterwards and you should see the new servers added in your registry.
