Error message on bootup after Microsoft automatic update

I installed a Microsoft update just like every other time, said that the computer needed to reboot for the changes to take place. Now on bootup after my wallpaper and desktop items appear I get a message that says...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 systems dlls. The vendor supplying the dll should be contacted for a new dll.

Does that make sense to anyone, cause it doesnt to me. I am running Windows XP service pack 2 version 2002.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
It simply means that the programs in question now reside in another location in memory. The last MS update (KB925902) simply relocated items in memory. The error message refers to Realtek audio drivers occuping space in memory that is usually reserved for system files and this update just moved them somewhere else. MS has a bulletin on their web site about it. Search there for more info.
