form timer stops firing until mouse or keystroke event

I have a minimized form in a 24/7 app which uses a form timer to check
various conditions. Sometimes the timer event stops firing until the mouse
is moved or a key is pressed. There are other forms in the same app which
also uses the form timer (and they might get stuck at the same time,
although this is hard to prove), while there is another Access app, which
also uses a form with a timer, which does keep firing correctly.

Any and all comments appreciated!
