Timer delay

Is there a way to prevent standard timers from having delay or from delaying each other ? I've noticed that timers running together will prevent each other from firing, creating an exponential delay.

How many timers are you using? I have never experienced such problems and our flagship product has around 30 of them. They are used for running music to time so they have to be reasonably accurate.

Also are there any other factors that might slow your program down and prevent the timers firing accurately?

Well, it's not actually a project I'm working on - I just wanted to see if indeed I could generate this bug, and I could !

Could you obtain and post the code as this is something I have never seen before? Given the number of timers we use this could possibly cause us a lot of problems.

I'm afraid I've already wasted the code, but I'll try it again soon and post the code - when I've got the time that is !
