    You just need to preload Timer 1 with a value "not so far" from 65536 - 1000 ... no more free running timer usable !!!

    it will overflow for 1000 counts = 1 ms ...

    "not so far" mean you have to add the time to reload the timer and do what you want to the "64536" value ...

    See Steve's ( Mr E !!! ) calculator here : http://www.mister-e.org/pages/utilitiespag.html


    I also forgot you could use the "compare" function of the CCP module ... and poll the CCPIF bit !

    Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

    IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
    certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!
