Okay, creating a command.com PIF is what is required, then I
can see the timer box.  It doesn't seem to make much difference.  
Right now my laptop is feeling accurate and always providing good
calibrations.

I usually run from cmd.exe or shortcuts and avoid all PIFs completely. 
_DEFAULT.PIF was the only one on my system.

I'll try this on the desktop this evening to see if it makes a
difference.
