@qua sar. You can definitely get away with just reading the timer register value. Just turn the timer on without turn on the interrupt.

IEC0bits.T1IE = 1; //turn on the timer1 interrupt
Turns on the interrupt. Just set it to 0. This should be quite self explanatory (as it is commented in the code).

i want to use my pic24hj chip with all interupts switched off.

all the examples of using the timers make reference to interupts.

could you show a little code without interupts involved please. i can get away with just reading
the timer register value periodically to acheive my goals. thanks
