how can I set timer resolution?

[Kmuland]

Anyone know a way to set timer resolution in XP using a registry key or similar?

Currently I use a timer program that needs to be open/active to maintain the desired time, but I was looking for a permanent timer change.

If it were possible to fix it in the registry, they would have done so instead of creating a program. No, in XP, you cannot set a timer without third-party programs.

You are true. Lets talk about some of these tools working on XP to set the timer resolution.

Currently Im using this one

I use this: https://yadi.sk/d/KpTGDPITsNWn7w the program itself is in the Timer_Fix folder. 

Brief description: Timer_Fix program with source code written in Visual Studio 6.0. The program has no interface; after launch, it will set the system timer to a period of 1 ms and leave it unchanged. The program will remain in the processes until the OS is rebooted. For convenience, it is best to place this program in “Startup” and completely forget about the problem of time passing. No issues have been found with using this method.

Million thanks!!! It was the program that I was looking for. Just a little tool to load at startup without interface!.

Thanks for sharing pal!! It will run by default in all my XP machines since now

I'm not seeing the "advantage".  What am I missing?  Before/After comparison?

you cannot "see". Its a feeling.

Its similar to CRT times and setting monitor from 60hz to higher refresh rate. Some people didnt notice nothing.... other felt the screen more pleasant in that way
