  HHCTRL.OCX error and online windows updates
The link is to a Microsoft support page. One of the key things with an automatic updating system is to ensure that you don't update with bugs. Someone's testing has gone astray and probably millions of computers across the world are going wrong in a slight manner when they are started.

It would be interesting to know how many people are affected by this. I don't think we will find out, however.

I can understand about how Marvin the Paranoid Android felt. There I am trying to drive massive change in UK Public Family Law through the Court of Appeal, but what are people interested in ... how to get rid of the HHCTRL.OCX error.

C'est la vie. BTW the solution does work.

Thanks for the post - this also seems to effect the Tight VNC viewer as well. The hot fix resolved the problem.

Thanks for posting this! I had tried to find information on the Microsoft site, but failed.

Dear John, thank you, seems to have worked OK I think. Windows updated caused a snag on my Realtek software.

John,
I tried other links in Google and ended up with software installed that I didn't want. Your link to the hot fix worked great.
Thanks!

Ditto to Vaughan & MUCH thanx. Now why doesn't MS just broadcast update this just like they do everything else? Art in Texas.

I think it is probably a timing thing. To broadcast an update probably requires a certain amount of planning. This update is required immediately.
