Accuracy of Stopwatch

[KSoko]

hi there
nice soft, but unfortunately not stable and accurate enough to use it in open events.

Our experience with use on a MTB-DH event -> running Xnote on 2 notebooks (start/final) ->
drift over 9sec. for 2 hours (between the notebooks)
one "jump" from 15sek. just that on the second notebook
occasionally crashes if there is a parallel running macro in excel

drift over 9sec. for 2 hours (between the notebooks)
one "jump" from 15sek.

What hardware and OS? Did you tried this build viewtopic.php?f=3&t=932#p1181

just that on the second notebook
occasionally crashes if there is a parallel running macro in excel

Are you using Excel integration?

We tested few laptops (hp, toshiba, dell), mostly with XP and VISTA.
We didn't know nothing about HPET at this time, so we used the regular version of the software. I'm not sure if the notebooks are equipped with HPET-chips.

Jep, but that with the 15sek. jump was without running macros.

HPET is available over 5 years but only Vista and later takes advantage of it. Could you retest the build above on the same notebooks?

Is there regularity of these crashes?
