When I first power up my laptop, I get the following message:

"The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the DLL C:WINDOWSsystem32HHCTRL.OCX occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL."

Is this something to do with the laptop, or is it something to do with software? Any ideas what I should do?

Got the very same message this morning as well on my pc so not just a laptop thing.

I have it too.

Anything to do with MS Office 2007?

Try this patch issused by Microsoft...

I had the problem too, but I'll say thanks to the boy or girl who posted the patch solution. Truly a cyber solution.

Downloaded that, DMB. Will see if it works soon enough!

as above should fix the problem,

Azz and DMB - brilliant, fixed in a jiffy!!

You haven't let me down yet, Azz, and I have no hesitation in recommending:

CYBER SOLUTIONS, NORTH STREET, LEVEN

for all your computer needs!

Do they have a telephone number? My daughter (in Scotland) has a notebook problem.

The PHONE # 01-333-439977

Tried your solution, DMB, stunning, are you educated in this sort of thing? Do you have a degree in Strategic Data Mechanistics or the like?

I tried Azz's solution, it seemed to have no effect.

Azz's solution was exactly the same!

Perhaps this goes to show that Azz is not the be all and end all for computing in Levenmouth?

Competition is healthy for the local economy.

Glad I could be of help

FFS - Azz's solution was exactly the same! Why are you guys slagging him off??

"Perhaps this goes to show that Azz is not the be all and end all for computing in Levenmouth?

nope he certainly isn't the be all, always a good thing to have healthy competition it keeps everyone on there toes, still can't see my competitors coming on an inernet forum dishing out free advice.

Blister in the sun of course my solution wouldnt have an effect if you had already tried the first solution unless yours was broken twice?

One nil to Azz!

Hey Jim

if you hit problems with your pc in the future..and you want a quick fix or understanding of the problem just copy some of the text from the error message i.e. "The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory" and do a google search on it. More often or not you will get a shed load of hits detailing solutions/work arounds etc. For the problem you experienced there were hundereds of hits providing a solution. Google man its a way of life.

There should have only been 4 posts in this thread: the three people who had the problem and the bloke who offered the solution.

The rest of you monkeys are fudging the issue.

H. Acker, I might have let you off on another day.
