Hello, I'm a Mechanical Engineer (see: programming-knowledge defficient) and I need some code to output an elapsed time, accurate to within at least hundredths of a second.

It appears to me as though the 'timer' library is ideal for this application, but when I try to run the simple code given in the documentation, I get errors regarding missing .hpp files.  I'm assuming that I have made errors in downloading and installing the boost libraries.  I tried to read the 'getting started' section, but I'm having difficulty understanding.  Are there any more simple 'getting started' instructions available for programming dunces running Windows?

Thanks for your help and your time,

Vivek
