TrapTimerPorts=<Boolean>

Default:        True

Purpose:        Specifies whether Windows should trap read and write
                operations to the system timer ports that are performed
                by applications. If disabled, Windows will not trap these
                operations, allowing applications that frequently read or
                write to the timer to run faster. However, this may
                interfere with Windows' ability to keep accurate system
                time. If disabled, Windows can usually detect when an
                application has changed the timer interrupt interval and
                then make any adjustments to the time. If your system's
                time appears to be running fast or slow, enable this
                setting. If you do not want to enable this setting, enable
                the SyncTime setting. This causes Windows to check the
                time periodically and then make any necessary adjustments.

To Change:      Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file.
