Timer problem

[Jay]

I am seeing a problem with intervals less than 1 second not being accurate
on machines running faster than 1giga-hertz. Is there a work around for
this?

Thank You for any help with this issue

Hi,

I'm running 1.7Ghz and I havn't noticed any problems. Are you running any
processor-intensive loops? Post some example code of your timer and what
you are doing while it runs, maybe someone will spot something that can help
you. Good luck! Ken.

Hi Jay,

which Timer are you using? There are 3 Timers, System.Windows.Forms.Timer,
System.Timers.Timer and System.Threading.Timer.
While the System.Windows.Forms.Timer runs on the same thread the UI is
running, the other two run on a seperate thread and should be more exact.

Jay,

On a mulitprocessing computer the time will be almost never accurate, do you
know what process is executing when your timer should throw an event?

I hope this gives some idea's
