Set EvtGetEvent to something other than no timeout and trap the nilEvent event. Ignore the nilEvent message when you don't need your timer. Look over any of the game source code included in the SDK for an example. Remember to return false when intercepting the nilEvent as the OS uses them for some of the UI.
