Timing PixelSearch

[Sgraffite]

I was trying to time a PixelSearch Operation for a game running in 800x600 but I'm getting negative results using the timer functions. Running this I consistently get like -125.xxxx milliseconds. Here is the code:

Dim $begin1 = TimerInit()
Dim $pixel = PixelSearch ( 0, 0, 802, 624, -1, 0, 1)
Dim $end1 = TimerDiff ($begin1)
MsgBox ( 1, "PixelSearch Time", $end1 )

Am I doing this wrong?

I have @AUTOITVERSION = "3.2.0.1" .. and am getting positive results as expected.

What is your @AUTOITVERSION?

What is your @AUTOITVERSION?

I have version 3.2.0.1 as well.

Other than the machine and operating system (mine is Win2K-pro), the only difference appears to be that you're running it on a game console. Perhaps that's where the difference lies?

Do you always get negative values, or are there circumstances which yield expected results?

What happens when you run your test script above on other resolutions?

What happens if you run it when there is no game running?

It seems kind of random when it happens now. If I run it consecutively sometimes it is negative, sometimes not. I also ran it on my other desktop and the asme issues arise, except I've seen it up to -1500 on my second computer. Having the game running or not seems to have no effect. It's really hard to tell which search functions give the best results when they are negative half the time.
