Boy thanks.. That was a rather informative response... Now I know how the Root control timers work.. I'll get right on it.... I don't mean to sound rude or make your response seem unwanted.. It just frustrates me that even simple things (or things you would imagine to be simple) are so poorly understood.. I just wanted to try them. All sarcasm aside.... Does anyone know how to use them.. I don't care if I can use VSync as a timer (I'm aware of that) or not... I want to know all I can about the Yaroze, and the docs on the Root timers are very poorly written... Regards, Jeff / Nemesis
