Read the technical article "Implementing Rock-Solid Windows CE Timers on
Windows CE.NET 4.1 Platforms" in MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dncenet/html/tchRockSolidCETimers.asp?frame=true

It does exactly what you want.

provides this interval. So basically we are trying to handle (catch) the
system timer interrupt, and to associate it with our own ISR.

application should initialize the timer interrupt, change the timer
frequency, handle the interrupt and when the handling is done restore the
original frequency.
