Well I think there is enough eveidence on this list to suggest that what you are trying to do can be done, but we need more information from you before we can "prove" it in your particular case. Do you use "send .. in time" to trigger your timers? When I do this I have a regular routine that checks if all the requisite timers are in the pending messages queue and schedules them if not. This check routine can be triggered by any number of things - mouseMove, resume, resumeStack, openStack etc etc, as well as happening periodically. I find that running in the IDE does sometimes cause messages to get turned off, especially if there is a bug in the handler being called, however in a standalone app, I have NEVER had any problems keeping multiple timed events all happening when required. Give us more information and I'm sure we will be able to help.
