Q. Here lately every time I start the computer a window comes up that says this:

"RTHDCPL.EXE-Illegal System DLL relocation" The system DLL user 32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL C: Windows/system 32\HHCTRL.OCX occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL.

I have no idea what this is or why it comes up. It doesn't appear to interfere with anything I'm doing on the computer so it's just annoying. Would you know what this is and how would I be able to get rid of it permanently?
