WINMM.DLL Not found?

Hi,

I just built a new system and have a fresh copy of Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I've installed a few games and both games are giving 2 errors saying that "This application has failed to start because WINMM.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". This pops up twice, and then the game starts and seems to work without any issues.

Any ideas?

Is the dll on the disc if it is put it into the games folders with the program icon used to start the game. You can go here and get the dll.

I downloaded that file and put it in the SPORE directory. Now I get "The Procedure entry point SMapLS could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll". Is this because it's not a 32-bit version of winmm.dll?

Couldn't find the winmm.dll on the SPORE DVD.

Just FYI, other games (Flight Sim X, LORTO) are working fine.

Thanks!

I'm getting the same thing in Vista x64. Running Crysis Warhead and WINMM.dll error, twice each time I start the game. And the Cysis wars locks up all the time. This is a fresh Vista install and my winmm.dll files are right where they should be. I'm seeing this problem more and more in the last week since the game came out.

I copied the .dll files from the System 32 into my System directory and now I am getting another issue!

Contacted EA Customer Support and SecureRom, both deny that they are causing an issue!

Bloody nightmare I tell you... :mad:

My winmm.dll problem was caused by a driver conflict with the new Asus XonarD2 drivers, going back to the old drivers fixed the problem.
