Replacing SetCoalescableTimer
calls with SetTimer
works, but not sure if it will break things.
Thank you for your investigation :)
SetCoalescableTimer
allows the OS to schedule the timer more energy efficient (coalesce them with other timers, that would run around the same time). But changing it to the old SetTimer
wouldn't break anything. Since Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft (end of support was 2020), and I can no longer test it, I really should drop the text stating "Windows 7" support.
But since that seems to be the only problem with Win 7 compatibility right now, I'll change that call to SetTimer. Until after the holiday season here (until 7th of January) I won't be able to do any work on WinMute, but afterwards, I'll change it.
Thanks for your help :)
On Windows 7, it gives an error dialog, describing “The procedure entry point SetCoalescableTimer could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll.”
According to Microsoft, this function is only available since Windows 8.0.
