Hi

I've compiled a small app containing a simple timer and serial port.
Every 70mS, the timer expires and the port outputs a couple of chars.
Only problem is that on the source machine, the interval is now 80mS.
The same app copied to a W98 and another XP prof. both work correctly at
70mS.
I presume i've corrupted an O/S file, but which one?
Before you ask - time and date work perfectly on original machine and
there are plenty of resources.

Chris
