I have a friend that had problems with his computer. I got I think all the
viruses removed using avast av. I also used search & destroy and ad-ware
remover. But when we start his computer I get a message. it has
explorer.exe, then the message says the application or
c:\windows\system32\winmm.dll is not a valid image. Then it says to compare
with the windows cd. I hit enter and it keeps loading and then we get one
for soundman.exe with the same message. Then everytime we open windows
explorer we get the message. I hit ok and it opens. Any idea what could be
causing this? I can open internet explorer and don't get that message.

Windows version?

winmm.dll is a module for the Windows Multimedia API, which contains
low-level audio and joystick functions.
