Is it possible to get a timer running in the background and be able to get its value later?

What operating system?
Most operating systems offer all sorts of timers you can use.

Ahh not exactly

I'm looking for a function that can record the elapsed time since it has been called to, if that makes sense

ok so next step..... console or windows program?
What sort of timing resolution do you need?

Console. Timing resolution?

GetTickCount() will give you milliseconds resolution.

QueryPerformanceCounter() is another possibility.

Look them both up at msdn
