During login to a Windows XP Pro computer, I get the following message:

Explorer.exe - Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\windows\winmm.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.

When you click "OK", the message disappears and allows windows to operate properly. I would like to get rid of this message each time I login.

Thanks...

Winmm.dll

Click start then run and enter sfc /scannow note the space, click OK, this should replace the missing file, you will need the XP CD and it just closes when it is done.

The link is for replacing the winmm file
