What is RTHDCPL.EXE

[spuff]

Hello friends,

I am having Windows XP SP3 as my operating system and everything fine, but from few days my computer is working very slow when i try to find out the cause i came to know that RTHDCPL.EXE is the cause of it. I try to kill this process but after sometime it comes back again. Can anyone provide me some information about RTHDCPL.EXE.

I don't think so RTHDCPL.EXE will slow down your computer because rthdcpl.exe is a process which belongs to Realtek HD Audio Control Panel and it is bundled with Realtek sound card and audio hardware and this program is a non-essential process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

I am also facing some issue with RTHDCPL.EXE, today when i try to take updates from Microsoft i got an box which says as RTHDCPL.EXE Illegal System DLL Relocation, i thought it would be due to older version of IE, so i install IE 8 but still getting same message. Does anyone know how to overcome from this message. Thanks in Advance.

I was also getting RTHDCPL.EXE Illegal System DLL Relocation in that case i would suggest you to reinstall Realtek sound drivers and then try to have a update your windows from here and i ma sure this should solve your problem. If your system is working very slow then there would be some another issue too check out the below links
