 JH> Thank you for this tip.
    However, I forgot to mention that you have to save old class and old
    priority using GetPriorityClass and GetThreadPriority functions and
    restore it after processing time-critical code.
    BTW, realtime atribute of my program is selling advertising space (on
    the scroll bar) based on cm/seconds scrolling speed. (faster=cheaper)
 JH> However, the mousepointer is not 'dead' during the 'XT-Mode' ;-) .
    It isn't, on a _fast_ Pentium.
    BTW, I have ProVideo graphics card (ISA) and unfornunately there are
    still pauses - I guess the card is not fast enough. :-(

 JH> Do you have the same experience?
    Yes... and I found it normal, since mouse driver still works and
    sends messages to Windows message queue but Win processes them only
    when idle mode is started again.
