1What is HPET? Could you examine the registry or *Program Files/HPET*? – Thomas Matthews Feb 16 '10 at 17:43

If your system has a HPET, then it should be listed in the device manager and therefore somewhere in the registry. I would see if there is a key in there somewhere that denotes a HPET. I'm not in win32 right now, but msdn mentions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active.
