Thanks. This is the text for which I've sent to the MS KB.

>Applications that do not use high-resolution timing should use the SetTimer

>by SetTimer post WM_TIMER messages to a message queue; the multimedia timer
>services call a callback function. Applications that want a waitable timer
>should use the CreateWaitableTimer function.
