Fixed it!

Sorry, takes me a little longer to work these things out. Art student, and all that. It looks great - you're a star!

Thanks so much!

Unfortunately when I extract this, I get a warning message when I try to run the .exe file:

"Countdown.exe: Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because MFC71.DLL was not found."

It's part of an art project looking at avoided endings. I'm not sure if that counts as 'senseful', but it's why.

Hello

I have been trying to work on this myself but not very successfully, as I haven't done much of this before.

I need a countdown, starting at 500, which is displayed at 1 second intervals. The countdown is never to reach 0; at random intervals, the countdown restarts. The restart is from a random number between 500 and the current number (I need it to be a little less obvious than restarting from 500 each time).

Ideally I would like the numbers to be displayed as seven-segment digits, like on stop watches, and as large as possible.

Thanks
