How would I go about making a delay between two things? I.E. make a two second delay before the program prints a string. I''d prefer using that timeGetTime() stuff.

Well, the easiest way would be to just call

  Sleep(2000); // sleep for 2000 milliseconds (= 2 seconds)

If you''re not worried about Locking use Sleep (as Dactylos pointed out) or use one of these (since you said you wanted timeGetTime):

  // Method 1DWORD Final = timeGetTime() + Length;while(timeGetTime() < Final);// Method 2DWORD Final = timeGetTime() + Length;while(timeGetTime() < Final) Sleep(Whatever);
