thanks for your replies.
I need strings for MMIO error codes returned from functions like
mmioOpen() etc. so the above mentioned specialized functions don't
help in this case.
I tried to check whether the strings are available in mmsystem.dll.
The problem is that LoadLibrary() fails to open the dll ????
It does not simply return NULL but shows a message with something
like this (roughly translated):

"The application or DLL c:\windows\system32\mmsystem.dll is not a
valid Windows file. Check this with your installation disk"

A third party resource editor/viewer fails to open it too.
tdump.exe works though and tells me there is a string table inside.

(WinXP SP2)

Any ideas what could be the cause?
