Could that?
In order to reply your question from the subject - our readme.txt says
so as far as I can see. ;-)
From a technical point of view - yes, GetTickCount64 is indeed not
supported before MS Windows Vista (thus not available in WinXP). While
this API should be preferred over GetTickCount whenever available,
providing a fallback for systems not supporting GetTickCount64 natively
is obviously quite simple / easily doable (load GetTickCount64
dynamically rather than statically at startup and assign a local
function falling back to GetTickCount to a GetTickCount64 procedural
variable in case the dynamic loading attempt fails).
