I tested your code on XP (without the timer) and it works as documented. I 
can change the interval via the last parameter. Only when I move the 
compiled app to Win7 it fails to animate. Your workaround may be your only 
alternative, but you may want to restrict it the later OS's as including the 
timer on XP doubles the speed.
