IBM Access Connections

[Pugnacious G]

After downloading the latest Windows XP updates my Access Connections won't run.

I get an error message like:

quizard.exe, illegal system DLL relocation, C:\WINDOWS\system32\HHCTRL.OCX occupied an address reserved for Windows a new DLL should be provided by the vendor

Restoring to a point before the Windows Update corrects the error but I need a permanent solution.

Help....Thanks.

I found this thing online, not sure if it would help you out in anyway but certainly could be worth a shot. I have edited the person's solution as he talked about alot of unrelated things.

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.

There is a simple solution though if you manage to find it - and of course it isn't the suggested "contact vendor for a new dll". Instead, simply visit a page at Microsoft Support and "Download the 935448 package now"

Install, run etc. etc. it faffs around for a while and seems to solve the problem. Horray. It does validate your copy of Windows before running so if you've got anything particularly dodgy (i.e. pirated) in terms of Windows versions installed the Poorhouse isn't sure what will happen. Probably not jail time all being well.

That worked! Updates are installed and everything seems to be running smooth.

Thanks ryengineer!
