Illegal System DLL relocation

[Guest]

About a week ago I noticed that everytime I boot my laptop I get the
following message:

RTHDCPL.EXE - Illegal System DLL Relocation
'The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not
run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\HHCTRL.OCX occupied an address range reserved for Windows
system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL'

I thought that by sending the laptop back to factory settings would solve
the problem but unfortunately not!!!
Can someone please explain what the problem is and what I can do to rectify
it?
Getting quite desperate now!
Thanks

Hi Abi,

Have a look at this MSKB article:

Certain third-party applications may not start, and you receive an error
message when you start the computer: "Illegal System DLL Relocation"

I just ran Windows Update on two of my Windows XP Pro SP2 machines
here at work, and I'm getting the EXACT same error...No idea what it
is either.
