Custom Query

On some PC's (Intel Core2 Duo, E8400 3GHz) i have got strange results with timers.

$begin = TimerInit() 
Sleep(5000) 
MsgBox(0, "Timer", "Duration = "& TimerDiff($begin))

The result always differs, between 200 and 500. Same behavior with timers UDF.

It seems that the problem is in the functions QueryPerformaceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency. There exists a blog concerning the problems with it: ​http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106

My solution:

$begin = f_timeGetTime() 
Sleep(1234) 
$end = f_timeGetTime() 
$diff = $end - $begin 
MsgBox(0, "Timer1", "Diff = "&$diff) 

Func f_timeGetTime() 
Local $aResult = DllCall("winmm.dll", "long", "timeGetTime") 
If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, -1) 
Return $aResult[0] 
EndFunc ;==>f_timeGetTime

Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control") oAutoIt.ControlTreeView "Computer Management (Local)", "", "SysTreeView321", "Select", "System Tools")

function ping() does not work on Windows Vista 32 and 64 Bit Version, you can read in this thread its also not working for other people, it always returns 0 instead the correct ping
