But take care because the time will wrap around to zero if the system is run continuously for 49.7 days. If you want to use it in a server application it could be a problem. À bientôt, Leonardo.

This, of course, isn't a problem under Windows 95 ;-) Oh yeah :-) Did a Win95 machine *ever* run for 49.7 days, even when only running...Win95 ? A ex-work colleague once said he had Win95 running continuously for 3 days without some fatal Kernel error. .......Saying that, he heard voices, reckoned he could levitate, mentioned aliens had visited him and made his dog "Rover" King of planet Thwog. I last heard he was on a mission to push a monkey nut around Antarctica using only his nose. ;o) Phenton Back to top Rob Kennedy Guest Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2004 7:00 pm    Post subject: Re: GetTickCount "Bj������������������������������������" wrote: Quote: Did a Win95 machine *ever* run for 49.7 days, even when only running...Win95 ? Actually, I have a Windows 95 computer that I think has been running since at least before Christmas. I'll check what GetTickCount returns when I go home tonight. We don't turn that computer off since it often takes several attempts over the course of a half hour to boot up again, and then only one of the two hard drives might be recognized. Time to replace it? Yes. But what's that got to do with anything? -- Rob Back to top Rob Kennedy Guest Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2004 6:02 am    Post subject: Re: GetTickCount Rob Kennedy wrote: Quote: I'll check what GetTickCount returns when I go home tonight. 46.17 days.

This affects the overhead calculation, and Intel recommends that CPUID is called three times with the overhead calculation being done from the second to the third call. Jim Hargis posted a full explanation in 2000. I have a copy if any one would like it. And also an implementation into a unit, which enables a timer with simple calls to time and display in various units.
