Yes well the multimedia timer runs on its own thread. It doesn't
change anything with respect to the Visual Basic executable, and
since a standard Visual Basic EXE is not thread safe the callback
will probably crash the app.

The callback doesn't crash the app, but how you "handle" execution on a
system thread can!
