>>I have a small program with two timers; one timer is simply used to show the progressing of times (in seconds). The second timer actually performs a procedure every minute. It happened once last week and today that customer reports that the timer that shows progressing of time stops at various points (e.g. 43 seconds) and the program stops. It does not freeze though as he is able to click on the Stop button and restart the program.

What do you mean by "tight loop"? Is it DO WHILE that runs through many records in the timer event?
