The timeBeginPeriod function sets the minimum timer resolution for an application or device driver.
Returns TIMERR_NOERROR if successful or TIMERR_NOCANDO if the resolution specified in period is out of range.
Call this function immediately before using timer services, and call the timeEndPeriod function immediately after you are finished using the timer services.
You must match each call to timeBeginPeriod with a call to timeEndPeriod, specifying the same minimum resolution in both calls. An application can make multiple timeBeginPeriod calls as long as each call is matched with a call to timeEndPeriod.
