1) Don't use threads.
2) If you use threads, and you're not doing blocking IO, you could have the
main thread do any timing and set a shared vrbl for each thread to check
or do the time checking in each thread.
By this time, I've forgotten what you are actually trying to do.

Like I said - there basically are no alarms on Windoze.

How about a synopsis of the code again - what are you trying to do and
what mechanisms are you using and what are you locked into ?
Maybe some pseudo-code would help.
