It was becouse of wrong result from QueryPerformcnceCounter Win32 API call on some hardware configurations. GNAT for Win32 is counting time by using QueryPerformcnceCounter call. Some hardware configurations could make this counter to be wrong sometimes. See article in the MSDN Finally some certain facts! You don't know how grateful I feel now. I was desperate and questioning my most basic understanding of tasking. Your test program effectively has shown that my PC is affected. Now the question :D Is there a solution? I don't understand clearly from the Microsoft article if a motherboard driver update can help. I will try that as first attempt. I suppose that my only other alternative is to alter my Gnat (ucks!) Any hints for that? Out of curiosity, is that corrected in Gnat 3.16? -- ------------------------- Jano 402450.at.cepsz.unizar.es -------------------------
