Hi Steven;
>How can I get an event to fire according to elapsed system time seconds. the timer seemes to work different on faster or slower computers.
Timer works as the same for faster or the slower. But, If you take all resources of the processor, it will seems to work different..
Be shure, definitively timer is the right tool for tasks that need to be fired in intervals..
