GetTickCount Question...

[GDX]

I am looking to get the uptime for my computer without overflowing the buffer, I heard GetTickCount() returns the number of MilliSeconds a computer is up for, so this is what I did...



secs = GetTickCount() / 6000
mins = secs / 60
Masgbox mins

But this doesnt seem right, does anyone have any ideas?

You are correct that GetTickCount returns the number of milliseconds since the system was started. There are 1000 milliseconds in a second, so you would want ot replace

secs = GetTickCount()/6000

with

secs = GetTickCount()/1000

Hope this helps.
