I like that one too. Adding more info for June Bug et al:

Thanks Susan for adding the info because the expense of freeware is that
each of us has to expend copious time finding & testing (and sometimes
fixing) the freeware before deciding which is the one to use.

Most of us probably don't need multiple countdown timers, so I summarily
dropped that AleJenJes Timer the moment I saw this error on Win10:

ERROR:
The program can't start because MSVBVM50.DLL is missing from your computer.
Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Do you get that error on Win10?

See my signature file below (I don't use Win10)

It could be just me because I never use the common hard-coded paths like
"Program Files" so maybe the software has a hard coded path somewhere to
the DLL?

The problem with freeware, as always, is the expense in finding and testing
it, so I dropped it like a hot potato - but it may work for others.

The problem with cross-posting is it often leads to confusion as it did
in this case. grin

It helps if you specify your OS. I hadn't tested the app on my Win7
machine but have done so now and found I did need the runtimes - dunno
if you'll be able to run it on Win10 fi you get the runtimes which were
archived by the Wayback Machine. Revised description below:

Program: AleJenJes Countdown Timer

Windows "all"

Wa (Freeware) LFW (v 2.1)

machine)
If needed DL the additional file below and run it then retry the
AleJenJes app.
