for my game timer i am using TimeGetTime , i know there is other methods but i want to try this way for a chance, here is the code...

before i enter the MSG loop

MSG msg;

static float lastTime = (float)timeGetTime();

while(TRUE)
{


if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
if (msg.message == WM_QUIT)
break;

TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

render_frame();

// check the 'escape' key
if(KEY_DOWN(VK_ESCAPE))
PostMessage(hWnd, WM_DESTROY, 0, 0);

float currTime = (float)timeGetTime();
float timeDelta = (currTime - lastTime)*0.001f; //0.001f;
gDelta = timeDelta;
}

and when i go to render the d3d object

static float z = 0.0f;
D3DXMATRIX matRotateY,matTrans; // a matrix to store the rotation for each triangle
D3DXMatrixTranslation(&matTrans,0.0f,0.0f,z*gDelta*1.0f);
d3ddev->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &(matTrans)); // set the world transform
