Timer intervall problems (runs to fast) - SOLVED

[ISITEC_RIEPER]

Hello,

i use the timer functions very often and normally everything works fine. In
an actual programm i setup a timer to an intervall of 5 Seconds. It works
fine on all pentium pc's but it runs much to fast on a PC with an AMD-Athlon
64 X2 Prozessor. I tryed other cvi-programms with timer functions and i
found the same problem. Is this a known bug with this amd processor?

PS: I use CVI 8.0 and windows XP SP 2.

The problem also appears with the NI-Example "timer.prj" in:

c:\Programme\National Instruments\CVI80\samples\userint\timer.cws

I know underneath we use the QueryPerformanceCounter() for timer functions. I'm just guessing, but perhaps this Microsoft KB might solve the problem.

Thanks a lot,

i modified the boot.ini by adding /usepmtimer as discribed and that solve
the problem. Timer intervall is working fine now.
