latest update caused error

[Jeff]

I just received notification that a critical update was available for my XP
SP2 system. So I downloaded and installed it without problem. It then
asked me to reboot which I did.

When the system came back up a popup announced:

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.

What does this mean? What should I do? It did not tell me which application
or vendor to contact. What now?
