Then why do you post here?  This forum has nothing to do with TC.

Windows 9X tries to virtualize the timer chip, but it doesn't do a very 
good job.  In particular, if you switch the DOS box into background 
(i.e., move the mouse focus away from it), your program will not get 
timer interrupts at all (or get only a very small fraction of them)!
