SYMPTOMS

When you start the Dr. Watson utility in Windows Millennium Edition (Me), you may see the following message on the Diagnosis tab:
If the Taskbar is behaving strangely, try exiting Multimedia background task support module.

Module Name: Mmtask.tsk
Description: Multimedia background task support module
Version: 4.90.3000
Product: Microsoft Windows
Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
You will only see this message if Mmtask.tsk is running as a task.

CAUSE

Mmtask.tsk loads Minmm.dll, which hooks the shell to handle audio controls on multimedia keyboards or other HID devices.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
