Error after Windows update

[wadadliman]

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. After the last windows update , I get an error message about RTHDCPL.EXE (the realtek audio driver).

"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".

Didn't spot an update through VAIO update.

Any ideas ?

Hi wadadliman

This error message was caused by the latest MS Security update (KB925902), have a look at KB935448 for a solution..

Wow that was fast Thalamus.

Downloaded the fix, rebooted and the message is gone. Don't see the little RealTek icon in the taskbar so I guess the fix just disabled that component ?

Can still get to it if I need it (which is rare) from control panel.

Nice one !

Thanks again.

You're welcome wadadliman..

You can restore your Realtek icon..

Go to Control Panel > Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices > Realtek Audio Manager..

A new window should open, click on the i (information button) bottom left, another window should open, select Show icon in system tray, then click OK..

I take it the Realtek icon's visible now.. :smileygrin:

[wadadliman]

Yep. At first it said it couldn't hide it, suggesting it thought it was visible. Then clicking it again enabled it.

Glad your icons visible now..
