   Try using int $1C instead. This is already chained to IRQ0 (system timer)   
   and is specifically designed for application use. If you try $1C, then don't   
   chain to it, just set the interrupt vector to your mose animation function.   
      
   As Marco pointed out though, DOS emulation in the Windows NT-line of O/S's   
   is poor, so this might not work either.
