Illegal System DLL Relocation, HHCTRL.OCX

This is what I get for following the MS Auto Update.  <sigh/>

If you see this annoying message please keep reading:

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

Yep, I have Realtek sound in my laptop and it seems that because of this the HHCTRL.OCX is loaded *before* the user32.dll - and they have conflicting base addresses.  Never fear, a fix is here!  The KB Article itself is here.

I would highly suggest contacting MS directly.  shell32.dll should not be stomping or being stomped upon.  Go to http://support.microsoft.com/contactussupport/?ws=support and either call or email them.  You can also try uninstalling the security update #925902.  I'm not a system guy.  Wish I could be more help.
