I''m trying to check QueryPerformanceCounter() (and Frequency) for errors, so i can use timeGetTime() if it fails. MSDN says: If the installed hardware does not support a high-resolution performance counter, the return value is zero. The function always returns 0 here, when it''s really not failing. the LARGE_INTEGER is ok and GetLastError() doesn''t report any error. Anyone ever had this problem? Thanks zedd

0 means success, it''ll evaluate to true when it fails
