In my opinion if an older version works fine and the new one does not, it is
winboard that is not working properly, not accuclock. However it may be
accuclock causes that is causing the beta to malfuntion, because of a bug in the
beta. I would try to run the old one again and if it never has the problem, it's
the beta winboard.
