Hello, i need to count in milliseconds, but that count must to be exact. 
I'm using the Sleep function but is not always the same result....

        InitTime = GetTickCount();
        Sleep(25);
        MittleTime = GetTickCount() - InitTime;

Hier MittleTime is 3 or 4 times 31 or 32 (i assumed that +/- 7 millis is 
what the function need to get and give the time)... and some oder times 15 
or 16 (so, less time than the specified ni the Sleep function).

what can i do to get always 25 ml of delay? I read something about 
Multimedia timers... can i get with it the right timing ?
