To use the function timeGetTime, you must link with winmm.lib. In your project settings for all builds (you may have to do this individually), add winmm.lib to the module list in the Link tab. Then build, and all should be well. If you look up any of these functions in MSDN or the appropriate documentation, it''ll tell you which header to include and which import library to use. So, keep that in mind the next time you get errors like that.

  if (!Found(function,IncludedLibraries)) throw( LinkerError );

Look in the function''s help page to find which one.
