    Illegal error message

    I have a laptop with Win XP, with antivir and nortons firewall and use a wireless hookup to our desktop. I logged on this afternoon and and got this message:

    RTHDCPL.Exe - Illegal system DLL relocation - The system DLL 32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occured becaue dll\c\win\system\32 HHCTRL.olx occupied an address range reserved for win system dll's. The vendor that supplied the dll shouldbe contacted for new dll.

    I scanned and found a TR.java.downloader.gen and have deleted that. What is the above message and how can I fix whatever it is. I also keep getting a lot of "Program not responding" messages and Send Report messages.Thanks for any help.

    Hi pennydog, apparently Microsoft felt the need to urgently patch a system flaw and do so regardless of its side effects. See this article, and this Microsoft notice. The patch was issued this past Tuesday. The MS link contains links in turn which should offer a workaround or a real solution.

    The app affected in your case is a Realtek sound application.

    The hotfix is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...B-F7B3B0FD3D86

    They'll also be releasing an updated version of the patch on Tuesday, so anyone reading this more than a few days from now doesn't need that hotfix.
    Safe computing is a habit, not a toolkit.

    Thanks for the help guys. I did system restore. I just got the cootie/error message today. The laptop worked fine last night, so I figured it was safe to restore to then. Should the patch anyway? Again, thank you for the help.

    I'd either put the patch on until Tuesday, or not use the laptop until then. While the chances of being attacked are small, they're by no means remote. Better safe than sorry.
