[0] Higher Performance Windows API Timer - timeSetEvent/timeKillEvent [2] Click Here [3] Click Here [1] 
A simple example that uses the timeSetEvent and timeKillEvent API codes to create and use API based Windows timers. This event timer has a much higher resolution than the SetTimer/KillTimer versions at about 1 milli-second compared to 15/16 milli-seconds. But the lower resolution timer may uses a lesser amount of resources. You will have to decide if the tradeoff is worth it I guess.
