Does it ever help you to write out your plan, to sort it out in your head? I just wrote a 3,000-word post on my plan to use GetTickCount to make a timer class, which I can then use to implement a typical keyboard delay using GetAsyncKeyState and my new timer objects. After typing the whoooole thing I decided I had it sorted out enough to give it a try and decided not to post it. At least it wasnt a complete waste of time.

I do this a lot. Just the process of trying to write down the problem in enough detail for others to be able to help often helps you see the solution (or at least what the true problem is).
