The problem seems to be that bmx itself needs a millisec for the timer to be created. Once you create them faster than bmx can handle it it comes to an overflow.

I thought that too, however creating five or six in a row, works aswell. More likely it's a (Windows?) limitation on ammount of concurrent Timers?

This code seems to work:

Strict

Local timer:TTimer = CreateTimer(60)

Graphics 640 , 480
While Not KeyHit(Key_Escape)
	Cls
	DrawText TimerTicks(timer) , 10 , 10
	DrawText timer.toString(),10,20

	
	If KeyHit(KEY_SPACE) 
		StopTimer timer
		timer = CreateTimer(60)
	EndIf
	Flip
