Serge - but WHY set BreakPointDelay = 95.46 hours ?

Hi Serge

I've been slow to implement all recent tweaks, and last night the Watchdog was in my sights. The msdn page you reference specifies:

Set the value of BreakPointDelay to the watchdog time threshold, in 10-second units. For example, a value of 200 specifies a threshold of 2,000 seconds.

In the case of 0x00008640 (a number expressed in hexidecimal notation), the conversion and math works out to 34,368 x 10-second units, setting the BreakPointDelay to 95.46 hours.

Is there something special about choosing this length of time that I'm missing ?

Perhaps you mean to set the value to 0x000021C0, which works out to 24 hours ?

In any event, thank you again for blazing the trail of new (...and obscure) adjustments for making cMP sound better and better... and better...

Cheers,
Grant
