Anyone know a good timer/stop watch program for Windows XP?

I am specifically looking for a visual indicator (a pop-up box or something flashing on the screen) to indicate that the time is up. If the timer does make a sound I want the option to turn the sound off.

I have just modified some source code i found on the net (just made a few tweaks to the interface and default settings,

its very basic, allows you to set the time to count down from, and a message to display at the end, it will popup a dialog with the message set.

I can modify this somemore, i'm unware what you need it for, so if needed i can take away the pause/stop buttons, meaning the timer has to keep counting until time is up.

I like one called FreeWatch by One Red Frog LLC. It's available at www.freedownloadscenter.com/Authors/One_Red_Frog.html
It's very simple and can be controlled from the command line.

There's a good one called TimeLeft which supports all the standard stopwatch features as well as interesting extras (like a countdown or reminder notes). You can resize and recolor the window, and it's very easy to use.

Download the free (unlimited use) version here:
http://www.timeleft.info/windows-stopwatch.html

They also offer a paid version with some extra features, but the free one does everything you need and never expires.

I hope this helps!
