SYMPTOMS

QueryPerformanceFrequency() called from an application running on an NEC PC9800 Series computer with Japanese Win95 (PC9800 version), returns a static value (1193180 Ticks/sec) regardless of the actual frequency of the high-resolution performance counter. On NEC PC 9800 Series computers, the static value can be 2457600 ticks/sec.
