 That should work, but the side effect of setting the resolution very low is an increase of the CPU time used by 
Windows... I used that technique in Winrad and I observed an increase of the CPU time when I did set the resolution to 
low values, as 1ms. After all, I guess that in order to have a more accurate resolution, Windows has to look at its 
wristwatch more often... :-)
