Mim.exe is a program run by MusicMatch Jukebox version 7 or later. It makes MusicMatch Jukeobox open faster and uses a lot of system resources. I recomend to remove it from windows startup.

I had also had problems. After uninstall and reinstall Musicmatch, everything seems okay. Then I had my MicroCruzer USB with U3. Everytime I plugged that USB in my computer locked up. Sandisk tech support says there's a conflict between the U3 software with mim.exe. I now know that I cannot use my MicroCruzer USB jump drive while mim.exe is on. So if anyone is looking for a fix, you might want to look for mim conflicts.

When mim.exe is running, I am unable to dismount portable harddrives. Killing mim.exe enables the drives to be turned off through XP's interface for USB harddrives.

This is the terminal services controller for Musicmatch. Thsi controls the connection between Jukebox and the Musicmatch server when Jukebox is active.

It is a part of MusicMatch. If you look into the reports of your virus internet worm protection. You see. Mim.exe is making internet connections. Is it spyware? F... Yahoo Musicmatch does not give an anser. The are sorry for the inconvenience.

Running on XP, sometimes prevents MMJB from loading after shutting down the first occurrence. Stops Photoshop from loading, Stops selective other programs from loading. Kill mim.exe, they load instantly.

Most important thing said, by Terry & Glenn: Open MusicMatch, go to File, Watch Folders, uncheck the Watch Folder box - poof! it's gone. Thanks for helping solve an annoying mystery!

Part of the Musicmatch Jukebox software. Can use up increasingly large amounts of memory. Can be removed from startup, but will still launch any time Musicmatch is launched.

Belongs to MusicMatch Jukebox. Was using 50% of Processor and over 500k of my memory. I have a P4 e6600 running at 3.33ghz. I'd hate to see that this does to a slower system.
   

MusicMatch Jukebox, watches disc drives and detects removable devices for fast playback. Uses a lot of resources for a file that just does that though, i'm not too sure if it does anything else.

Put it under quartine. It would not let me open music match afterwards. Restored and music match works fine. Don't seem to have a memory problem with it.
  P.A.P  

Appears after installation of Music Match Jukebox. Seems a suspicious that the process still runs after ending MMJ application. Did not keep it running long enough to find out what it does or does not do.

I uninstalled it on a new dell desktop using add / remove software in the control panel of XP Pro it removed everything related to mim.ex and the registry entry.
