Microsoft’s New Patch Is Causing Problems
The latest security update from Microsoft (KB925902) is an update to fix an "animated cursor threat," whatever that means. After downloading and installing the patch on my Compaq Presario SR2050NX, the computer reboot, and I got an error message that looks like this:
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.
So, what the does all of this gibberish mean? Apparently this error is related to the Realtek HD Audio Control Panel which is loaded after boot up. The Compaq (HP) computer that I own uses Realtek HD Audio. In any case, I considered this to be unacceptable.
I first tried to do a System Restore, but for the first restore point that I selected, Windows couldn't restore to that point. Does anybody know why that often happens when using System Restore? I tried an earlier restore point, and this seemed to eliminate the problem until the next morning when Automatic Updates again downloaded the "fix" and reinstalled the problem.
Frustrated, I turned off automatic updates, and uninstalled the "fix". Now things appear to be back to normal... until the next time I need to update Windows. I am hoping that Microsoft comes up with a fix to their fix before that happens. Doesn't Microsoft test their patches before sending them out to the unsuspecting public?
