mmsystem006 Problem Solved!

by Cheryl Sarges

The Mystery Revealed

The Scenario: You’re minding your own business, downloading some terrific avi files off the Internet; nothing illegal of course, just some of those great new South Park video clips everyone’s been talking about. So you get ‘em downloaded and double click the first one expecting some instant gratification when the unthinkable occurs and you break out into a cold sweat: ERROR: - MMSYSTEM006 driver not installed. "What in the hell is MMSYSTEM006?" you ask yourself, "and where can I get it? - FAST!" Have no fear. We’ll have you up and running in a flash.
February 28, 1999

In a Nutshell:

MMSYSTEM006 is a codec driver used in playing all sorts of movie files, including avi and MPEG, and is required by players like ActiveMovie and NET TOOB among countless others. It is also needed by synthesizer-type software that utilizes extensive MIDI files like Yamaha’s SoftSynth. What does it do? In a nutshell it compresses digitized data at one end and then decompresses it at the other; hence codec stands for "co"mpress – "dec"ompressor. This allows for faster transfer times and less delays.

Yeah, Yeah, Get to the Good Stuff Already:

Several solutions to the MMSYSTEM006 issue are available out there. I’ve listed them in the order of my personal opinion as to which is the most likely to solve your problem. Use ‘em all at your own risk, but one of these should do the trick.

It is simply not possible to check solutions mentioned against all possible combinations of hardware, software, expertise, foolishness, etc. In other words, we believe this information to be of value but cannot make any fabulous or other guarantees.
