I am trying to use the timeGetTime() function for calculating the frames per second -- this is to serve as a substitue if the PerformanceCounter isn't available. The problem is, I get an error any time I try to call timeGetTime(): error C3861: 'timeGetTime': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup I have included windows.h, and when I mouseover the function in VC++ .Net 2003, I can see the prototype in the caption (DWORD timeGetTime(void)). Any insight on resolving this problem, or suggestions on alternative measures would be very helpful. Thanks.

In addition, you will need to:
#include

That did it. Thank you for your quick responses.

*EDIT*
Just saw that last post. Actually, the #include is what i needed. I had tried linking the library already, and that alone did not solve the problem.
