Description:
The description for Event ID ( 1904 ) in Source ( HHCTRL ) cannot be found.
The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or
message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be
able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and
Support for details. The following information is part of the event:
about:blank, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=45840.

I read the info on the linked page, but it meant nothing to me.
I am not on a network nor connected to a "remote computer" (as far as I
know).
I wonder if it could be related to doing online crossword puzzles at the
Washington Post, LA Times, and SF Chronicle. These events occur now and
then. In this case repeated three times at about 9:30. I think that's around
the time that I was doing the crosswords.
The events are labeled "information" only, not a warning, so they're
apparently not serious. Should I just ignore them?
 
it sounds like that particular file is no longer on the pc or
it has been moved.

what you might try to do is a clean boot and eliminate
all the non microsoft programs and services from
starting up at boot time.

if the error is not longer produced then you have
successfully corrected the problem.

the task is then to figure out which startup or service
is trying to utilize that dll.

another method you might try is to initiate a system
restore point and restore your pc to a time when it
was error free.

however, I would first try the clean boot method.

Reduce the number of questions, trial and error troubleshooting
methods, further guessing about what it might be and what might work
by supplying more information:

What Internet Browser are you using and what is the version? (IE6,
IE7, IE8, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

msinfo32

Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select
All, Copy and then paste
back here.

There would be some personal information (like System Name and User
Name) or whatever appears to
be only your business that you can delete from the paste..
