What does Allegro's example program 7 do?  It should be in the
`examples' subdirectory of your Allegro directory, filename `ex7.exe'.

In the 2nd test performed there are three counters.  The `y' column
should be increasing ten times per second.  Does this work?  If this
works then you might like to take a look at the source code (ex7.c)
for this example program, and see what you're doing differently.

In any case, it's hard to suggest what you're doing wrong unless you
post some compilable code.
