How can I protecting a dedicated function in Visual C plus plus from interruption by the system - I have tried threads with critical sections and they are still interrupted?
Just because you protect threads with critical sections does not mean the threads cannot be interrupted by the system. What it does mean is that, if the threads are correctly protected with the same critical section, the threads cannot interrupt each other. If this is not true, then your code is defective. Make sure the thread blocks when the critical section cannot be entered, and that it properly releases the critical section when it is done.

Generally if you want to repeat a section of code the best option is to define it as a method and call it when required. Then you can use it inside a loop which will repeat until a given change occurs.
