User32.dll/Hhctrl.ocx error
There is a new Microsoft knowledge base article that details this error, as well as a hotfix to correct it. If you are using newer HP models that have Realtek HD audio on-board, you will probably see this after deployment. I have confirmed that the hotfix does correct the issue.
Certain third-party applications may not start, and you receive an error message when you start the computer: "Illegal System DLL Relocation":
When you start a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2, certain third-party applications may not start. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
application_executable_name - 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.
This problem occurs when the following third-party applications are installed:
• Realtek HD Audio Control Panel
• ElsterFormular 2006/2007
• TUGZip
• CD-Tag
