Joe,
     My resettimer function does this:
         resettimer()
         {
             TMR1H =3D 0x0B;
             TMR1L =3D 0xDC;
         }
     Doesn't that set the timer registers back to 0 and as soon as I=20
turn the timer back on it will count to the proper value for 100mS?
Thanks,
rich!
