The best way is to use:

BOOL QueryPerformanceCounter( LARGE_INTEGER  *lpliPerformanceCount 
 // address of current counter value
);
  and 
BOOL QueryPerformanceFrequency(
   LARGE_INTEGER  *lpliPerformanceFreq 	// address of currentfrequency
);	

// When these functions does not work it is possible to use
// multimedia timer API (libwinmm.a) :

    MMRESULT timeBeginPeriod(UINT uPeriod); 
    DWORD timeGetTime(VOID);
    MMRESULT timeEndPeriod(UINT uPeriod);
