Every time I log-on this error message appears on screen;
?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?..?
What does it mean?
How can I fix the problem, if there is one?
How can I get rid of this message?

PS Computer is on Windows XP Pro SP2.

Have you done any security updates recently? I've heard that KB925902 & KB928843 can cause issues with the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. I think this is the problem you are having.

One way to fix this is to uninstall the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel. If you do not want to uninstall it, try this hot fix from MS (KB935448).

I've seen this exploit open up the Windows firewall (ports 5000-5015). Just check to be safe. I'm glad they patched the exploit so soon, as well as the RPC DNS exploit.
