[in] Minimum timer resolution, in milliseconds, for the application or device driver.
Return Value
Returns TIMERR_NOERROR, if successful, or TIMERR_NOCANDO, if the resolution specified in uPeriod is out of range.
Remarks
Call this function immediately before using timer services, and call the timeEndPeriod function immediately after you finish using the timer services.
