The very first interrupt.

[PCM Novice]

<font face="Courier New" size=-1>I am trying to time an asynchronous event using timer2. I want the event to call enble_interrupts to start the measurement, rather than keeping the interrupt going and using set_timer2(0) to initiate it (see code fragment below).
But the call to enable_interrupts causes an imediate interrupt, has anyone any ideas?

setup_timer_2(T2_DIV_BY_16,200,5);
// timer set to 5.2ms with 12.288 MHz xtal

// some event
set_timer2(0);
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER2);
// I would expect first interrupt 5.2ms later.. But it happens imedeately.
//Interrupts there after occur correctly at 5.2ms intervals as expected.

</font>

Solved using
set_timer2(0);
#asm
BCF PIR1, TMR2IF // clear the timer 2 interrupt flag
#endasm
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER2);
